Roller security grilles in Bristol: what will it cost?
Most roller security grilles in Bristol 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.
Choices you can make
- Guide channels fixed to the face or into the reveal
- Coil box above the opening, internal or external
- Suitable for shopping centre units, counters and wide internal openings
- Pass doors or wicket gates on request for some wide openings
- Safety edges, manual override and anti-drop devices on powered grilles
- Brick-bond or straight link patterns in aluminium or steel

Getting the right roller grille for your building
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.
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.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Roller security grilles in Bristol: questions
Which towns in Bristol do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Bristol, including Clifton, Bedminster, Easton, Fishponds and Southville.
What happens to an electric grille in a power cut?
Powered grilles have a manual override, usually a crank or chain, so they can be raised or lowered without power.
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.
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.
