What is the price of counter and hatch grilles in Liverpool?
Our guide range for counter and hatch grilles in Liverpool 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
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Neat integration with countertops
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Manual operation for small openings
Fitting in Liverpool and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting across Liverpool and the L1 postcode district, and in nearby Birkenhead (2 miles), Wallasey (4 miles) and Litherland.
Merseyside has Liverpool's Georgian quarter and Victorian terraces, the Wirral's suburbs, and large high-street and dockside commercial areas.
This type of grille suits:
- Ticket and reception counters
- Takeaway and café hatches
- School and canteen serveries
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
Questions we will ask at the survey
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.
Planning and safety 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 Liverpool: questions
Do you cover Birkenhead as well as Liverpool?
Yes. As well as Liverpool, we can arrange surveys in nearby Birkenhead, Wallasey and Litherland, and elsewhere in Merseyside.
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 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.
