What is the price of shopfront security grilles in Cricklewood?

Budget £1,195 to £3,495 plus VAT (£1,434 to £4,194 inc VAT) per shopfront for shopfront security grilles in Cricklewood, 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.

What goes into a shopfront grille

Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours
Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil

Fitting in Cricklewood and nearby

Surveys in Cricklewood (NW2) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Kilburn (1 mile), Willesden (2 miles) and Chalk Farm (3 miles).

This type of grille suits:

High-street shops and boutiques
Convenience stores and off-licences
Jewellers and phone shops
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.

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.

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.

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.

Shopfront security grilles in Cricklewood: questions

Do you cover Kilburn as well as Cricklewood?

Yes. As well as Cricklewood, we can arrange surveys in nearby Kilburn, Willesden and Chalk Farm, and elsewhere in Greater London.

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.

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.
