What is the price of counter and hatch grilles in Crawley?
As a guide, counter and hatch grilles in Crawley cost £595 to £1,795 plus VAT (£714 to £2,154 inc VAT) per hatch, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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
- Neat integration with countertops
- Manual operation for small openings
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Compact coil boxes for low heads
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes
- Bottom-rail or side locks
Fitting in Crawley and nearby
Surveys in Crawley (RH11) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Horley (4 miles) and Horsham (7 miles).
West Sussex combines Crawley's new-town estates and commercial areas with coastal towns such as Worthing and historic Chichester.
This type of grille suits:
- School and canteen serveries
- Takeaway and café hatches
- Pharmacy and dispensary counters
- Ticket and reception counters
Questions we will ask at the survey
Fire separation
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a standard grille does not replace a fire shutter.
Food areas
Smooth, cleanable finishes suit kitchens and serveries.
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 Crawley: questions
Can you survey in Crawley and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Crawley, Horley, Horsham and elsewhere in West Sussex are booked around 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 you fit it into an existing counter?
Yes, by fixing to the counter structure or a subframe built into it.
Can staff lock it easily?
Yes. Hatch grilles lock with a key at the bottom rail or leading edge.
