Counter and hatch grilles in Coatbridge: what will it cost?
Our guide range for counter and hatch grilles in Coatbridge is £595 to £1,795 plus VAT (£714 to £2,154 inc VAT) per hatch, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
- Neat integration with countertops
- Manual operation for small openings
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
Fitting in Coatbridge and nearby
Surveys in Coatbridge (ML5) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Airdrie (2 miles), Motherwell (5 miles) and Cumbernauld (6 miles).
Lanarkshire mixes the new town of East Kilbride and Cumbernauld with older industrial towns such as Motherwell, Hamilton and Coatbridge.
Common openings for counter and hatch grilles:
- Takeaway and café hatches
- Bars and kiosks
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- Ticket and reception counters
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 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 Coatbridge: questions
Do you cover Airdrie as well as Coatbridge?
Yes. As well as Coatbridge, we can arrange surveys in nearby Airdrie, Motherwell and Cumbernauld, and elsewhere in Lanarkshire.
Can you fit it into an existing counter?
Yes, by fixing to the counter structure or a subframe built into it.
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.
