A counter or hatch grille is a small roller or retractable grille that closes off a serving hatch, kiosk window, bar or reception counter. It secures the opening between the public side and the stock or till behind, while staying compact enough for tight spaces.

- Retractable options where there is side space

- Manual operation for small openings

Fitting in Belfast and nearby
Surveys in Belfast (BT1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Newtownabbey (4 miles) and Holywood (5 miles).
County Antrim centres on Belfast's red-brick terraces, Victorian city centre and commercial areas, with towns such as Lisburn, Ballymena and Larne.
This type of grille suits:
- Takeaway and café hatches
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- Bars and kiosks
- Ticket and reception counters
Questions we will ask at the survey
Coil box or side stack
Roller grilles need a little head space; retractables need side space.
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Planning and safety in Northern Ireland
Grilles across exits in business premises
The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 make the appropriate person keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
