Roller security grilles in Greenwich

How much should I budget for roller security grilles in Greenwich?

Our guide range for roller security grilles in Greenwich is £1,495 to £4,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £5,994 inc VAT) per opening, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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

Mill, anodised or powder-coated finishes
Brick-bond or straight link patterns in aluminium or steel
Guide channels fixed to the face or into the reveal
Safety edges, manual override and anti-drop devices on powered grilles

Coil box above the opening, internal or external

Fitting in Greenwich and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Greenwich and across the SE10 postcode district, as well as in nearby Blackheath (1 mile) and Canary Wharf (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.

Where roller security grilles are most often used:

Counters and kiosks
Car park and stairwell openings
Wide internal openings and lobbies
Shops with deep heads above the glazing

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.

Inside or outside

Inside a shopping centre or behind glazing the grille is protected. External roller grilles normally need planning permission.

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.

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.

Roller security grilles in Greenwich: questions

Do you cover Blackheath as well as Greenwich?

Yes. As well as Greenwich, we can arrange surveys in nearby Blackheath, Canary Wharf and Catford, and elsewhere in Greater London.

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 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.

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.
