How much should I budget for removable security grilles in Leeds?
As a guide, removable security grilles in Leeds 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.
Options for removable security grilles in Leeds
- White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
- Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored
- Lifts out completely for a clear window
- Rigid welded panel in steel
- Storage hooks or wall clips available
- Internal fixing so brackets cannot be reached from outside

What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: 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.
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 Leeds: questions
Do you cover Morley as well as Leeds?
Yes. As well as Leeds, we can arrange surveys in nearby Morley, Pudsey and Batley, and elsewhere in West Yorkshire.
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.
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.
