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 goes into a removable grille

Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
Rigid welded panel in steel
White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Lifts out completely for a clear window

Fitting in Abingdon and nearby

Surveys in Abingdon (OX14) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Didcot (5 miles), Oxford (6 miles) and Witney (12 miles).

Oxfordshire includes Oxford's listed college and city-centre buildings, Cotswold-stone towns such as Witney, and growing towns like Bicester and Didcot.

This type of grille suits:

Offices empty at weekends
Holiday homes and second homes
Windows needed for cleaning or access
Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

Where it is stored

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

Planning and safety in England

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 Abingdon: questions

Which areas near Abingdon do you cover?

We can arrange work in Abingdon and in nearby Didcot (5 miles), Oxford (6 miles) and Witney (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can I fit the panel myself after it is installed?

Yes. Once the brackets are fitted, lifting the panel in and locking it is a simple job.

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.
