Removable security grilles in Cardiff

How much do removable security grilles cost in Cardiff?

Budget £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for removable security grilles in Cardiff, 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
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
Rigid welded panel in steel
Lifts out completely for a clear window
White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins

Fitting in Cardiff and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting across Cardiff and the CF10 postcode district, and in nearby Penarth (3 miles), Caerphilly (7 miles) and Barry.

South Glamorgan centres on Cardiff's Victorian terraces, arcades and city-centre offices, with Barry and Penarth along the coast.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Offices empty at weekends
Windows needed for cleaning or access
Holiday homes and second homes
Temporary or seasonal security

Things to decide before you order

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Bedroom and escape windows

Wales has its own Approved Documents under the Building Regulations. Approved Document B for Wales sets out escape window provisions for dwellings broadly in line with England's, including minimum opening sizes. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a keyless internal release.

Removable security grilles in Cardiff: questions

Do you cover Penarth as well as Cardiff?

Yes. As well as Cardiff, we can arrange surveys in nearby Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry, and elsewhere in South Glamorgan.

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.

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.

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.
