Roller security grilles in Cumbria: what will it cost?
As a guide, roller security grilles in Cumbria cost £1,495 to £4,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £5,994 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.
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
- Coil box above the opening, internal or external
- Guide channels fixed to the face or into the reveal
- Pass doors or wicket gates on request for some wide openings
- Suitable for shopping centre units, counters and wide internal openings
- Brick-bond or straight link patterns in aluminium or steel
- Manual spring-balanced, crank or electric operation

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.
Electric roller grilles
Electric grilles need a suitable supply wired to BS 7671. In homes, some electrical work is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Powered grilles should have working safety devices and regular maintenance.

Roller security grilles in Cumbria: questions
Which towns in Cumbria do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Cumbria, including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal, Whitehaven and Workington, and in other towns across the area.
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.
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.
Do electric roller grilles need servicing?
Yes. Powered grilles should be inspected and maintained regularly, including the motor, safety devices and manual override, so they stay safe to use.
