Fitting in Basingstoke and nearby
Basingstoke is about 28 miles from Southampton, the main centre for Hampshire. We can survey and fit across the RG21 district and in nearby places such as Fleet and Thatcham.
Hampshire runs from Portsmouth's dense Victorian terraces and Southampton's post-war centre to market towns such as Winchester with large conservation areas.
Common openings for counter and hatch grilles:
- Bars and kiosks
- Ticket and reception counters
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- School and canteen serveries
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.
