Removable security grilles in Kelso

How much should I budget for removable security grilles in Kelso?

As a guide, removable security grilles in Kelso cost £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Choices you can make

Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Storage hooks or wall clips available
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

What to think about first

Where it is stored

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

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.

Consents and safety: Scotland

Scotland

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the council, with Historic Environment Scotland consulted on some cases. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Bedroom and escape windows

In Scotland, escape from homes is covered by the Building Standards technical handbooks (section 2, fire). Where a room relies on a window for escape, nothing fitted over it should stop it being used. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Removable security grilles in Kelso: questions

Which areas near Kelso do you cover?

We can arrange work in Kelso and in nearby Galashiels (15 miles), Hawick (18 miles) and Haddington (28 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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 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.

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.
