Budget £595 to £1,995 plus VAT (£714 to £2,394 inc VAT) per opening for internal security grilles in Reading, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
Internal security grilles divide a building into zones. Fitted across corridors, stockroom doors, cash offices and server rooms, they keep valuable areas locked off from the rest of the building after hours, or from visitors and staff who do not need access during the day.

Things to decide before you order
Partition strength
A grille is only as strong as what it is fixed to; stud walls may need reinforcement.
Visibility
Grilles keep areas visible to staff and cameras, unlike solid partitions.
Rules that apply in England
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
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.

Internal security grilles in Reading: questions
Which areas near Reading do you cover?
We can arrange work in Reading and in nearby Wokingham (7 miles), Crowthorne (10 miles) and Yateley (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can internal grilles be fixed to stud walls?
Yes, with reinforcement such as a steel subframe or timber noggins, because a grille is only as strong as its fixings.
Can an internal grille go across a corridor?
Yes, but if the corridor is an escape route the grille must be open whenever people are in the building.
Can you add mesh to stop things being passed through?
Yes. Mesh infill is common on stockroom and dispensary grilles.
