Shopfront security grilles in Perth

What is the price of shopfront security grilles in Perth?

As a guide, shopfront security grilles in Perth cost £1,195 to £3,495 plus VAT (£1,434 to £4,194 inc VAT) per shopfront, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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

Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged

Fitting in Perth and nearby

Surveys in Perth (PH1) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Blairgowrie (14 miles) and Crieff (16 miles).

Perth and Kinross mixes Perth's Georgian and Victorian centre with stone-built Highland Perthshire towns such as Pitlochry and Crieff.

This type of grille suits:

Convenience stores and off-licences
High-street shops and boutiques
Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
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.

Risk level

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

Planning and safety in Scotland

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.

Grilles across exits in business premises

In Scotland, the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 make the duty holder 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.

Shopfront security grilles in Perth: questions

Can you survey in Perth and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Perth, Blairgowrie, Crieff and elsewhere in Perth and Kinross are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.

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.
