Removable security grilles in Warwickshire: what will it cost?
Budget £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window for removable security grilles in Warwickshire, 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
- Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Storage hooks or wall clips available
- Rigid welded panel in steel

Getting the right removable grille for your building
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.
Locking
Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.
What the rules say 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 Warwickshire: questions
Which towns in Warwickshire do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Warwickshire, including Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington Spa, Warwick and Bedworth, and in other towns across the area.
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.
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.
