What is the price of removable security grilles in Lichfield?
As a guide, removable security grilles in Lichfield 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.
Specification at a glance
- Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside

- Rigid welded panel in steel
- Lifts out completely for a clear window

Fitting in Lichfield and nearby
Whether you are in central Lichfield or at the edge of the WS13 district, we can arrange a survey. Nearby Burntwood and Tamworth are covered too.
Staffordshire mixes the Potteries' Victorian terraces and former works buildings with market towns such as Stafford, Lichfield and Burton.
This type of grille suits:
- Holiday homes and second homes
- Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
- Offices empty at weekends
- Temporary or seasonal security
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.
Panel weight
Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.
Planning and safety 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 Lichfield: questions
Do you cover Burntwood as well as Lichfield?
Yes. As well as Lichfield, we can arrange surveys in nearby Burntwood, Tamworth and Aldridge, and elsewhere in Staffordshire.
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.
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.
