Counter and hatch grilles in Exmouth: what will it cost?
Our guide range for counter and hatch grilles in Exmouth is £595 to £1,795 plus VAT (£714 to £2,154 inc VAT) per hatch, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.
What you can specify
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Neat integration with countertops
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Manual operation for small openings
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
Fitting in Exmouth and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Exmouth and across the EX8 postcode district, as well as in nearby Exeter (9 miles) and Newton Abbot (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Devon runs from post-war Plymouth and Exeter city centres to Victorian seaside terraces in Torbay and thatched and stone cottages inland.
Common openings for counter and hatch grilles:
- Takeaway and café hatches
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- School and canteen serveries
- Bars and kiosks
Getting the right hatch grille for your building
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.
What the rules say 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 Exmouth: questions
Can you survey in Exmouth and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Exmouth, Exeter, Newton Abbot and elsewhere in Devon are booked around installer availability.
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.
Can staff lock it easily?
Yes. Hatch grilles lock with a key at the bottom rail or leading edge.
