Removable security grilles in Swindon

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

Our guide range for removable security grilles in Swindon is £354 to £894 including VAT (£295 to £745 plus VAT) per window, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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.

Choices you can make

Lifts out completely for a clear window
White, black, anthracite or RAL finishes
Split panels for large windows so each is manageable
Keyed or padlockable bracket pins
Rigid welded panel in steel
Brackets that are discreet when the panel is stored

Fitting in Swindon and nearby

Surveys in Swindon (SN1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Calne (13 miles) and Cirencester (14 miles).

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

Where removable security grilles are most often used:

Windows needed for cleaning or access
Listed interiors where tracks are unwelcome
Offices empty at weekends
Temporary or seasonal security

What to think about first

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.

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 Swindon: questions

Can you survey in Swindon and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Swindon, Calne, Cirencester and elsewhere in Wiltshire are booked around 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 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.

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.
