Counter and hatch grilles in Eastleigh: 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 Eastleigh, 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
- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Neat integration with countertops
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes

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 Eastleigh: questions
Can you survey in Eastleigh and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Eastleigh, Southampton, Winchester and elsewhere in Hampshire are booked around installer availability.
Can a hatch grille be fire rated?
A standard security grille is not fire rated. If the hatch needs fire separation, a fire-rated shutter is required instead.
Can staff lock it easily?
Yes. Hatch grilles lock with a key at the bottom rail or leading edge.
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.
