Shopfront security grilles in Bangor

Shopfront security grilles in Bangor: what will it cost?

Budget £1,195 to £3,495 plus VAT (£1,434 to £4,194 inc VAT) per shopfront for shopfront security grilles in Bangor, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.

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.

Choices you can make

Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours

Getting the right shopfront grille for your building

Internal or external

Internal grilles are generally preferred by councils and rarely need planning permission. External shutters or grilles normally need consent, especially in conservation areas.

Risk level

Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.

What the rules say in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland

Grilles across exits in business premises

The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 make the appropriate person keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Northern Ireland need listed building consent for works affecting their character, with the council deciding and the Department for Communities' Historic Environment Division advising. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes.

Shopfront security grilles in Bangor: questions

Can you survey in Bangor and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Bangor, Newtownards, Carrickfergus and elsewhere in County Down are booked around installer availability.

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.

Can customers see into the shop with the grille closed?

Yes. An open lattice or open-mesh roller grille keeps the display visible, which helps window shopping after hours and natural surveillance of the street.

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.
