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 Chippenham

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

Fitting in Chippenham and nearby

Chippenham is about 16 miles from Swindon, the main centre for Wiltshire. We can survey and fit across the SN15 district and in nearby places such as Calne and Melksham.

Wiltshire mixes Swindon's Victorian railway terraces and modern estates with stone-built market towns such as Salisbury, Chippenham and Devizes.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Temporary or seasonal security
Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
Holiday homes and second homes
Windows needed for cleaning or access

Things to decide before you order

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.

Panel weight

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

Rules that apply in England

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 Chippenham: questions

Do you cover Calne as well as Chippenham?

Yes. As well as Chippenham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Calne, Melksham and Devizes, and elsewhere in Wiltshire.

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.

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.
