Counter and hatch grilles in Perth: what will it cost?

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
- Compact coil boxes for low heads

Getting the right hatch grille for your building
Daily use
Choose a light action if staff open and close it several times a day.
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 Perth: questions
Which areas near Perth do you cover?
We can arrange work in Perth and in nearby Blairgowrie (14 miles), Crieff (16 miles) and Cupar (17 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
