Fitting in Deal and nearby
Deal is about 38 miles from Maidstone, the main centre for Kent. We can survey and fit across the CT14 district and in nearby places such as Dover and Ramsgate.
Kent ranges from Medway's Victorian terraces and Thanet's seaside towns to listed medieval centres such as Canterbury and Rochester.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Ticket and reception counters
- Takeaway and café hatches
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- School and canteen serveries
Things to decide before you order
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Coil box or side stack
Roller grilles need a little head space; retractables need side space.
Rules that apply 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 Deal: questions
Do you cover Dover as well as Deal?
Yes. As well as Deal, we can arrange surveys in nearby Dover, Ramsgate and Broadstairs, and elsewhere in Kent.
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.
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 staff lock it easily?
Yes. Hatch grilles lock with a key at the bottom rail or leading edge.
