How much should I budget for counter and hatch grilles in Oxfordshire?

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.
Choices you can make
- Manual operation for small openings
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes

Consents and safety: 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 Oxfordshire: questions
Which towns in Oxfordshire do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Oxfordshire, including Oxford, Banbury, Abingdon, Bicester and Didcot, and in other towns across the area.
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.
Can staff lock it easily?
Yes. Hatch grilles lock with a key at the bottom rail or leading edge.
