Counter and hatch grilles in Bootle: what will it cost?
Most counter and hatch grilles in Bootle fall within £595 to £1,795 plus VAT (£714 to £2,154 inc VAT) per hatch for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Manual operation for small openings

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 Bootle: questions
Can you survey in Bootle and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Bootle, Litherland, Wallasey and elsewhere in Merseyside are booked around installer availability.
Can you fit it into an existing counter?
Yes, by fixing to the counter structure or a subframe built into it.
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 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.
