Fitting in Birmingham and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting across Birmingham and the B1 postcode district, and in nearby Smethwick (3 miles), West Bromwich (5 miles) and Shirley.
The West Midlands is dominated by red-brick terraces and interwar semis, with dense high streets and a large stock of industrial and trade units.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- Bars and kiosks
- Takeaway and café hatches
- Ticket and reception counters
Things to decide before you order
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Coil box or side stack
Roller grilles need a little head space; retractables need side space.
Rules that apply 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 Birmingham: questions
Do you cover Smethwick as well as Birmingham?
Yes. As well as Birmingham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Smethwick, West Bromwich and Shirley, and elsewhere in West Midlands.
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.
Are these grilles suitable for food areas?
Aluminium and stainless finishes are easy to clean and suit serveries.
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.
