How much should I budget for internal security grilles in Thatcham?
Budget £595 to £1,995 plus VAT (£714 to £2,394 inc VAT) per opening for internal security grilles in Thatcham, 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.

Consents and safety: 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.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.

Internal security grilles in Thatcham: questions
Do you cover Newbury as well as Thatcham?
Yes. As well as Thatcham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Newbury, Basingstoke and Reading, and elsewhere in Berkshire.
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.
Do internal grilles need planning permission?
Generally not, though listed buildings may need consent for internal works.
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.
