Removable security grilles in Chichester

How much should I budget for removable security grilles in Chichester?

As a guide, removable security grilles in Chichester 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.

What goes into a removable grille

White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
Storage hooks or wall clips available

What to think about first

Panel weight

Steel panels are heavy. We size and split them so one person can lift each panel safely.

Locking

Choose keyed pins for everyday use, or padlock hasps if you prefer to use your own padlocks.

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.

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.

Removable security grilles in Chichester: questions

Which areas near Chichester do you cover?

We can arrange work in Chichester and in nearby Bognor Regis (6 miles), Havant (9 miles) and Littlehampton (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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 removable grilles be locked from outside?

They are designed to be locked and removed from inside only, so nobody outside can lift them out.

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.
