What is the price of counter and hatch grilles in Blackheath?
Our guide range for counter and hatch grilles in Blackheath 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 goes into a hatch grille
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
Fitting in Blackheath and nearby
Surveys in Blackheath (SE3) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Greenwich (1 mile), Catford (2 miles) and Eltham (2 miles).
London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
This type of grille suits:
- Takeaway and café hatches
- Bars and kiosks
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- Ticket and reception counters
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 Blackheath: questions
Which areas near Blackheath do you cover?
We can arrange work in Blackheath and in nearby Greenwich (1 mile), Catford (2 miles) and Eltham (2 miles). Dates depend on 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.
