What is the price of counter and reception security screens in Kent?

As a guide, allow £1,295 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,554 to £8,394 inc VAT) per counter for counter and reception security screens in Kent, supplied and fitted. Size, glass makeup, access and frame condition move the price, which is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Questions we will ask at the survey

Protection level

Choose laminated for deterrence, anti-bandit for tool attack or bullet-resistant where a threat assessment calls for it. Everything else is built to match.

Counter structure

Heavy glass needs a strong counter top and fixings. We check before quoting and include strengthening if needed.

Building regulations and safety in England

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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

In England, listed building consent from the council may be needed to replace historic glass such as crown or cylinder glass, or to alter glazing bars, sashes and frames. Historic England publishes guidance on traditional windows. Secondary glazing and window film are often easier to agree because they can be removed later, but the council's conservation officer makes the decision.

Counter and reception security screens in Kent: questions

Which towns in Kent do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham, Tunbridge Wells and Folkestone, and in other towns across the area.

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.

What level of screen do we need?

That comes from your risk assessment, head office standards or insurer. Many receptions need laminated screens; cash-handling sites may need anti-bandit or bullet-resistant screens.

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.
