Shopfront security grilles in Pimlico

Shopfront security grilles in Pimlico: what will it cost?

Most shopfront security grilles in Pimlico 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.

Getting the right shopfront grille for your building

Risk level

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

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.

What the rules say in England

England

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

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 Pimlico: questions

Do you cover Battersea as well as Pimlico?

Yes. As well as Pimlico, we can arrange surveys in nearby Battersea, Chelsea and Central London, and elsewhere in Greater London.

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.

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.
