How much do shopfront security grilles cost in Dalkeith?
Most shopfront security grilles in Dalkeith fall within £1,195 to £3,495 plus VAT (£1,434 to £4,194 inc VAT) per shopfront for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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 goes into a shopfront grille
- Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
- Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
- Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
- Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours
- Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
- Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged

Things to decide before you order
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.
Risk level
Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the council under the Scottish planning system. Councils' shopfront guidance commonly prefers internal, open-mesh security, particularly in conservation areas and town centres.

Shopfront security grilles in Dalkeith: questions
Which areas near Dalkeith do you cover?
We can arrange work in Dalkeith and in nearby Musselburgh (3 miles), Edinburgh (6 miles) and Penicuik (7 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Can the grille cover the shop door too?
Yes. The door is covered by its own leaf, by a separate gate, or by including it in the main grille run.
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.
