Security grilles Essex | ShopFronts UK

We look at what sits behind the glass at your Essex shop, because a folding grille needs room to stack and lock. Owners across the East of England with more than one opening can have every grille priced together, including any at your Essex branch.

What do we offer in Essex?

Internal display grilleFitted behind the glass to keep people away from stock, while the pane stays in view from the street.

Removable grillePanels lift into locking brackets at night, leaving the front clear by day.

Tube and link roller grilleRolls into a box above the opening, keeping the view through at night and clear space by day.

How much does it cost in Essex?

As a guide, allow £795 to £1,995 ex VAT per opening. If an exit is affected, staff at premises in the East of England need a clear opening routine, and we build that into your Essex grille design. Your written quote shows travel, access and any out-of-hours work.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Essex?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Essex, including Basildon, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood.

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.

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.

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.
