How much should I budget for roller security grilles in Oxfordshire?
Roller security grilles in Oxfordshire typically cost £1,495 to £4,995 plus VAT (£1,794 to £5,994 inc VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. Use the quote tool for a guide figure, then we survey and confirm a fixed price.
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
- Coil box above the opening, internal or external
- Suitable for shopping centre units, counters and wide internal openings
- Brick-bond or straight link patterns in aluminium or steel
- Pass doors or wicket gates on request for some wide openings
- Mill, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Guide channels fixed to the face or into the reveal

What to think about first
Inside or outside
Inside a shopping centre or behind glazing the grille is protected. External roller grilles normally need planning permission.
Head space
The coil box needs height above the opening. If there is no room inside, a retractable grille is usually a better fit.
Consents and safety: 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 Oxfordshire: questions
Which towns in Oxfordshire do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Oxfordshire, including Oxford, Banbury, Abingdon, Bicester and Didcot, and in other towns across the area.
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.
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.
