Shopfront security grilles in Falmouth

What is the price of shopfront security grilles in Falmouth?

Our guide range for shopfront security grilles in Falmouth is £1,195 to £3,495 plus VAT (£1,434 to £4,194 inc VAT) per shopfront, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

A shopfront security grille is a wide retractable or roller grille fitted behind the shop window and entrance. It protects the glass line after closing while leaving the display visible, which is why many councils prefer it to a solid external shutter.

What you can specify

Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged

Fitting in Falmouth and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Falmouth and across the TR11 postcode district, as well as in nearby Truro (8 miles) and Redruth (9 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Cornwall's stock is largely granite and slate cottages, terraces and holiday lets, with many seasonal properties left empty for part of the year.

This type of grille suits:

Jewellers and phone shops
Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
High-street shops and boutiques
Pharmacies and opticians

Questions we will ask at the survey

Lattice or roller

Retractable lattice suits most shop windows. An internal roller grille needs space for the coil above the window but leaves nothing at the sides.

Where the stack parks

We plan stack positions around displays, pilasters and the door so the grille folds away without blocking stock.

Planning and safety in England

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.

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.

Shopfront security grilles in Falmouth: questions

Do you cover Truro as well as Falmouth?

Yes. As well as Falmouth, we can arrange surveys in nearby Truro, Redruth and Camborne, and elsewhere in Cornwall.

Can you fit the grille without closing the shop?

Usually. Fitting is noisy for short spells while tracks are drilled, so we offer early-morning or after-closing slots where the installer's schedule allows.

Do I need planning permission for a shop grille?

An internal grille behind the glass does not usually need planning permission. External shutters and grilles normally do, and listed buildings need listed building consent for internal or external works that affect their character.

Will my insurer accept a grille?

Some insurers specify grilles or shutters for certain stock or cash levels. Send us their wording and we will quote to it; the insurer decides whether a product meets their policy.
