Counter and hatch grilles in Holloway: what will it cost?
Budget £595 to £1,795 plus VAT (£714 to £2,154 inc VAT) per hatch for counter and hatch grilles in Holloway, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.
What goes into a hatch grille
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Neat integration with countertops
- Manual operation for small openings
- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Retractable options where there is side space

Getting the right hatch grille for your building
Food areas
Smooth, cleanable finishes suit kitchens and serveries.
Coil box or side stack
Roller grilles need a little head space; retractables need side space.
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 Holloway: questions
Do you cover Highbury as well as Holloway?
Yes. As well as Holloway, we can arrange surveys in nearby Highbury, Archway and Camden Town, and elsewhere in Greater London.
Can staff lock it easily?
Yes. Hatch grilles lock with a key at the bottom rail or leading edge.
Can you fit it into an existing counter?
Yes, by fixing to the counter structure or a subframe built into it.
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.
