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

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

Getting the right shopfront grille for your building

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.

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.

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.

Shopfront security grilles in Heston: questions

Which areas near Heston do you cover?

We can arrange work in Heston and in nearby Hounslow (1 mile), Isleworth (2 miles) and Southall (2 miles). Dates depend on 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.

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.
