Removable security grilles in Houghton-le-Spring: what will it cost?

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
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Rigid welded panel in steel
- Storage hooks or wall clips available
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- Lifts out completely for a clear window
- Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside

Getting the right removable grille for your building
Locking
Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.
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
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.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Removable security grilles in Houghton-le-Spring: questions
Can you survey in Houghton-le-Spring and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Houghton-le-Spring, Chester-le-Street, Washington and elsewhere in Tyne and Wear are booked around 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.
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.
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.
