How much should I budget for roller security grilles in Aberdeen?
Most roller security grilles in Aberdeen fall within £1,495 to £4,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £5,994 inc VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
A roller security grille is a curtain of linked aluminium or steel tubes that coils into a box above the opening. Lowered, it gives an open-mesh barrier you can see through; raised, it leaves the full width clear with nothing parked at the sides.
What you can specify
- Manual spring-balanced, crank or electric operation
- Suitable for shopping centre units, counters and wide internal openings
- Mill, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Brick-bond or straight link patterns in aluminium or steel
- Safety edges, manual override and anti-drop devices on powered grilles
- Pass doors or wicket gates on request for some wide openings

What to think about first
Powered door safety
Electric grilles are powered doors, so they need the right safety devices, a risk assessment and regular maintenance.
Manual or electric
Small grilles work well by hand. Anything large, high or used several times a day is easier and safer with a motor.
Consents and safety: Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.

Roller security grilles in Aberdeen: questions
Which areas near Aberdeen do you cover?
We can arrange work in Aberdeen and in nearby Stonehaven (13 miles), Inverurie (14 miles) and Peterhead (27 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Do roller grilles need planning permission?
Internal roller grilles generally do not. External ones normally do, and councils often prefer open-mesh grilles to solid shutters where something external is allowed.
Can a roller grille be fitted inside a shop window?
Yes, where there is enough clear height above the window for the coil and guides. It is a neat option because nothing is left at the sides.
Is a roller grille the same as a roller shutter?
No. A shutter uses solid or perforated slats; a grille uses an open mesh of tubes and links, so you can see through it and air can pass.
