How much should I budget for internal security grilles in Widnes?
As a guide, internal security grilles in Widnes cost £595 to £1,995 plus VAT (£714 to £2,394 inc VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.
Choices you can make
- Provision for access control hardware on hinged doors
- Wide openings across corridors and aisles
- Fixings into block, brick, stud or steel
- Lock boxes with cylinders on a master-key suite
- Mesh infill to stop items being passed through
- Galvanised or powder-coated finishes

Consents and safety: 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.
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.

Internal security grilles in Widnes: questions
Can you survey in Widnes and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Widnes, Runcorn, Halewood and elsewhere in Cheshire are booked around installer availability.
Do internal grilles need planning permission?
Generally not, though listed buildings may need consent for internal works.
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 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.
