Security grilles in Cheshire
We look at what sits behind the glass at your Cheshire shop, because a folding grille needs room to stack and lock.
Daily use matters, so staff in Cheshire and across the North West are shown how to open, stack and lock the grille before we leave. Fixed bars can be a low-cost first step for rear windows and stockrooms that never need opening at your Cheshire premises.

How much does it cost in Cheshire?
As a guide, allow £795 to £1,995 ex VAT per opening. A grille keeps your Cheshire window display in view after closing, which suits owners who want passers-by to see the stock at night. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Cheshire?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Cheshire, including Chester, Congleton, Crewe, Ellesmere Port.
Is a grille as secure as a roller shutter?
It depends on the product and the risk. A solid external shutter covers the glass, while an internal grille sits behind it and leaves the pane open to damage. A well-made grille still blocks access to stock. For tested performance, look for LPS 1175 rated products.
Will a grille damage my shopfront frame?
Not if it is fixed properly. Side tracks need a sound substrate, so we fix into masonry or add a steel subframe and do not rely on thin aluminium sections. On listed buildings, fixing positions must be planned carefully, and consent may be required.
Can I fit a grille over a fire exit?
Only if it is fully open or unlocked while anyone is inside. An emergency exit cannot be locked in a way that stops people getting out. Your fire risk assessment must cover this, and a lockable grille needs a clear daily routine with a named person responsible.
