How much should I budget for internal security grilles in Maidstone?
As a guide, internal security grilles in Maidstone 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.

- Retractable, hinged and bi-fold grille doors
- Provision for access control hardware on hinged doors

Access control
Hinged grille doors can take electric locks or readers, wired by a suitable contractor.
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.
