Counter and hatch grilles in Horsham: what will it cost?
As a guide, counter and hatch grilles in Horsham 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.

- Bottom-rail or side locks
- Stainless or aluminium to suit food areas
- Retractable options where there is side space
- Brushed, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Fixing to counters, bulkheads or subframes

Getting the right hatch grille for your building
Food areas
Smooth, cleanable finishes suit kitchens and serveries.
Coil box or side stack
Roller grilles need a little head space; retractables need side space.
What the rules say 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 Horsham: questions
Do you cover Crawley as well as Horsham?
Yes. As well as Horsham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Crawley, Horley and Haywards Heath, and elsewhere in West Sussex.
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.
