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

Most roller security grilles in Lancaster 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.

Fitting in Lancaster and nearby

Lancaster is about 20 miles from Preston, the main centre for Lancashire. We can survey and fit across the LA1 district and in nearby places such as Morecambe and Fleetwood.

Lancashire is known for stone and red-brick terraces in its mill towns, Victorian seaside resorts such as Blackpool, and historic Lancaster.

Where roller security grilles are most often used:

Shopping centre and arcade units
Shops with deep heads above the glazing
Car park and stairwell openings
Wide internal openings and lobbies

What to think about first

Head space

The coil box needs height above the opening. If there is no room inside, a retractable grille is usually a better fit.

Powered door safety

Electric grilles are powered doors, so they need the right safety devices, a risk assessment and regular maintenance.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

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 Lancaster: questions

Do you cover Morecambe as well as Lancaster?

Yes. As well as Lancaster, we can arrange surveys in nearby Morecambe, Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys, and elsewhere in Lancashire.

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.
