Our guide range for counter and reception security screens in Ipswich is £1,295 to £6,995 plus VAT (£1,554 to £8,394 inc VAT) per counter, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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.
Choices you can make
- Screens for single desks or long counters
- Built to the level set by your risk assessment
- Speech panels set into the glass
- Stainless steel or aluminium framing
- Hearing loop and lighting provision
- Counter-front and end-wall protection to match
Fitting in Ipswich and nearby
We can arrange counter and reception security screens across Ipswich, the main centre for Suffolk, and in nearby towns including Harwich, Felixstowe and Stowmarket.

Typical places for counter and reception security screens:
- Bureaux de change and pawnbrokers
- Pharmacy dispensaries and controlled-drug areas
- Hospital, GP and police front desks
- Bank, building society and post office counters
Things to decide before you order
Speech and accessibility
Speech panels, low-level sections and hearing loops make the counter usable for everyone.
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.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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 Ipswich: questions
Which areas near Ipswich do you cover?
We can arrange work in Ipswich and in nearby Harwich (10 miles), Felixstowe (11 miles) and Stowmarket (11 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
Can staff still hear customers through the screen?
Yes. Speech panels let sound pass while keeping the screen closed, and hearing loops help customers with hearing aids.
