Counter and hatch grilles in Nairn: what will it cost?

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 you can specify
- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Neat integration with countertops
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Retractable options where there is side space
Fitting in Nairn and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Nairn and across the IV12 postcode district, as well as in nearby Inverness (15 miles) and Dingwall (21 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
The Highlands are one of the most sparsely populated parts of the UK, with Inverness as the main centre and many remote homes, holiday lets and small-town shops.
Common openings for counter and hatch grilles:
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- School and canteen serveries
- Takeaway and café hatches
- Bars and kiosks
Getting the right hatch grille for your building
Coil box or side stack
Roller grilles need a little head space; retractables need side space.
Daily use
Choose a light action if staff open and close it several times a day.
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.

Counter and hatch grilles in Nairn: questions
Can you survey in Nairn and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Nairn, Inverness, Dingwall and elsewhere in Highland are booked around 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.
