Counter and hatch grilles in Glasgow: what will it cost?
As a guide, counter and hatch grilles in Glasgow cost £595 to £1,795 plus VAT (£714 to £2,154 inc VAT) per hatch, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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.

Getting the right hatch grille for your building
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Food areas
Smooth, cleanable finishes suit kitchens and serveries.
What the rules say in Scotland
Grilles across exits in business premises
In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder 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 Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
