Internal security grilles in Watford: what will it cost?
As a guide, internal security grilles in Watford 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
- Retractable, hinged and bi-fold grille doors
- See-through barriers that keep CCTV coverage
- Lock boxes with cylinders on a master-key suite
- Provision for access control hardware on hinged doors

Getting the right internal grille for your building
Access control
Hinged grille doors can take electric locks or readers, wired by a suitable contractor.
Visibility
Grilles keep areas visible to staff and cameras, unlike solid partitions.
What the rules say 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.
