- Rigid welded panel in steel
- Storage hooks or wall clips available
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Lifts out completely for a clear window
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored

Fitting in Louth and nearby
Louth is about 24 miles from Lincoln, the main centre for Lincolnshire. We can survey and fit across the LN11 district and in nearby places such as Cleethorpes and Grimsby.
Lincolnshire combines the historic hilltop core of Lincoln with Grimsby and Scunthorpe's industrial terraces and many small market and coastal towns.
Where removable security grilles are most often used:
- Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
- Holiday homes and second homes
- Temporary or seasonal security
- Windows needed for cleaning or access
What to think about first
Panel weight
Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.
Where it is stored
Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.
Consents and safety: England
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Removable security grilles in Louth: questions
Which areas near Louth do you cover?
We can arrange work in Louth and in nearby Cleethorpes (13 miles), Grimsby (14 miles) and Skegness (21 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
How heavy is a removable grille panel?
It depends on size and bar section. We aim to keep each panel light enough for one person to lift, splitting large windows into two panels.
Can removable grilles be locked from outside?
They are designed to be locked and removed from inside only, so nobody outside can lift them out.
Are removable grilles suitable for listed buildings?
Often, because the only permanent fixings are small brackets. Listed building consent may still be needed, so check with your council first.
