Removable security grilles in Bootle

Removable security grilles in Bootle: what will it cost?

Budget £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for removable security grilles in Bootle, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.

A removable security grille is a rigid steel panel that sits in locked brackets fixed to the window reveal. Unlocked, it lifts out entirely, leaving the window clear for cleaning, views or escape; locked in, it is as strong as a fixed grille.

What you can specify

Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Lifts out completely for a clear window
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
Storage hooks or wall clips available

Fitting in Bootle and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Bootle and across the L20 postcode district, as well as in nearby Litherland (1 mile) and Wallasey (4 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Merseyside has Liverpool's Georgian quarter and Victorian terraces, the Wirral's suburbs, and large high-street and dockside commercial areas.

Common openings for removable security grilles:

Offices empty at weekends
Temporary or seasonal security
Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
Holiday homes and second homes

Getting the right removable grille for your building

Locking

Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.

Where it is stored

Plan where the panel lives when it is out, because a grille propped behind a door is easily damaged.

What the rules say in England

England

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

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.

Removable security grilles in Bootle: questions

Do you cover Litherland as well as Bootle?

Yes. As well as Bootle, we can arrange surveys in nearby Litherland, Wallasey and Liverpool, and elsewhere in Merseyside.

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.

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.

What is the difference between removable and retractable grilles?

A retractable grille folds to the side but stays in place; a removable grille comes out completely. Retractable suits daily use, removable suits occasional use.
