Removable security grilles in West Sussex: what will it cost?
As a guide, removable security grilles in West Sussex 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.

- Lifts out completely for a clear window
- Rigid welded panel in steel
- Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
- Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes

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.
Panel weight
Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.
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 West Sussex: questions
Which towns in West Sussex do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in West Sussex, including Crawley, Worthing, Bognor Regis, Littlehampton and Horsham, and in other towns across the area.
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.
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.
