Removable security grilles in Prescot: what will it cost?
Most removable security grilles in Prescot fall within £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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.
Options for removable security grilles in Prescot
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- Lifts out completely for a clear window
- Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
- Rigid welded panel in steel
- Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes

Getting the right removable grille for your building
Panel weight
Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.
Escape
A removable panel is not a quick-release escape grille. Upstairs and bedroom windows needed for escape suit a quick-release retractable grille better.
What the rules say in 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 Prescot: questions
Do you cover Huyton as well as Prescot?
Yes. As well as Prescot, we can arrange surveys in nearby Huyton, St Helens and Halewood, and elsewhere in Merseyside.
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.
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.
