Roller security grilles in Guildford

Roller security grilles in Guildford: what will it cost?

Most roller security grilles in Guildford 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.

Brick-bond or straight link patterns in aluminium or steel
Safety edges, manual override and anti-drop devices on powered grilles
Guide channels fixed to the face or into the reveal
Coil box above the opening, internal or external

Fitting in Guildford and nearby

Surrey is mostly suburban and commuter housing, from interwar semis to large detached homes, with busy town centres such as Guildford and Woking.

Common openings for roller security grilles:

Shopping centre and arcade units
Shops with deep heads above the glazing
Car park and stairwell openings
Counters and kiosks

Getting the right roller grille for your building

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.

Head space

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

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.

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 Guildford: questions

Can you survey in Guildford and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Guildford, Godalming, Woking and elsewhere in Surrey 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.

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.
