How much should I budget for shopfront security grilles in Nuneaton?
As a guide, shopfront security grilles in Nuneaton 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
- Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
- Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
- Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
- Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
- Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil

What to think about first
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.
Where the stack parks
We plan stack positions around displays, pilasters and the door so the grille folds away without blocking stock.

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; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.
External grilles and planning
External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Shopfront security grilles in Nuneaton: questions
Do you cover Bedworth as well as Nuneaton?
Yes. As well as Nuneaton, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bedworth, Hinckley and Coventry, and elsewhere in Warwickshire.
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.
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.
