Counter and reception security screens in Finchley: what will it cost?
Budget £1,295 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,554 to £8,394 inc VAT) per counter for counter and reception security screens in Finchley, supplied and fitted. Larger panes, thicker makeups and difficult access cost more; the price is fixed in writing after the survey.
A counter security screen is a framed glass screen fitted along a counter or reception desk, with a speech panel and a transaction tray, so staff can serve people face to face while separated from them by laminated, anti-bandit or bullet-resistant glass. The protection level is set by a risk assessment of the site.

Getting the right glass for your building
Speech and accessibility
Speech panels, low-level sections and hearing loops make the counter usable for everyone.
Continuity
Rated glass next to an unrated counter front or plasterboard wall leaves a gap. We protect the whole line.
What the rules say in England
Fire-rated glass is different
Glass in fire doors, fire screens and protected escape routes has to be fire-rated glass tested as part of that door or screen system, under Approved Document B and the fire safety duties of the building's responsible person. Laminated and security glass are not fire-rated unless the product says so. Where a pane needs both fire and security performance, it must be a product tested for both.
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for shops, offices, stock and cash, and some name a glazing class such as BS EN 356 P6B in the policy wording. Ask for that wording in writing before you order. The insurer decides whether the glass meets their policy; we provide the glass manufacturer's test evidence with the quote.

Counter and reception security screens in Finchley: questions
Do you cover Muswell Hill as well as Finchley?
Yes. As well as Finchley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Muswell Hill, Cricklewood and Kilburn. Dates depend on installer availability.
Can you add a screen to our existing counter?
Usually, if the counter is strong enough. We check its construction and include strengthening where needed.
Do counter screens need planning permission?
Internal screens do not normally need planning permission. In listed buildings, listed building consent may be needed for fixings into historic fabric.
Do the trays weaken the screen?
They should not. Transaction trays are designed so there is no straight path through, and their level should match the glass.
