Roller security grilles in Bootle

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

Our guide range for roller security grilles in Bootle 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 goes into a roller grille

Pass doors or wicket gates on request for some wide openings
Mill, anodised or powder-coated finishes
Manual spring-balanced, crank or electric operation
Brick-bond or straight link patterns in aluminium or steel
Guide channels fixed to the face or into the reveal
Suitable for shopping centre units, counters and wide internal openings

Fitting in Bootle and nearby

Surveys in Bootle (L20) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Litherland (1 mile), Wallasey (4 miles) and Liverpool (4 miles).

Merseyside has Liverpool's Georgian quarter and Victorian terraces, the Wirral's suburbs, and large high-street and dockside commercial areas.

Where roller security grilles are most often used:

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Roller security grilles in Bootle: questions

Can you survey in Bootle and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Bootle, Litherland, Wallasey and elsewhere in Merseyside are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
