Fitting in Wokingham and nearby
Wokingham is about 7 miles from Reading, the main centre for Berkshire. We can survey and fit across the RG40 district and in nearby places such as Crowthorne and Bracknell.
Berkshire mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Reading, commuter semis along the Thames Valley and modern business parks around Slough and Bracknell.
This type of grille suits:
- Ticket and reception counters
- Bars and kiosks
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- School and canteen serveries
Questions we will ask at the survey
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Daily use
Choose a light action if staff open and close it several times a day.
Planning and safety in England
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
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.

Counter and hatch grilles in Wokingham: questions
Can you survey in Wokingham and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Wokingham, Crowthorne, Bracknell and elsewhere in Berkshire are booked around installer availability.
Can a hatch grille be fire rated?
A standard security grille is not fire rated. If the hatch needs fire separation, a fire-rated shutter is required instead.
Will the grille fit under our ceiling?
Compact roller grilles need only a small box. If there is no head space, a retractable grille that folds to the side works instead.
Can you fit it into an existing counter?
Yes, by fixing to the counter structure or a subframe built into it.
