Choosing roller grilles for premises in Berkshire
An open curtain lets air and light through, so displays stay on view and the unit does not look closed down. Brick-bond, tubular and link patterns give different levels of visibility and strength. Councils often see roller grilles as more acceptable than solid shutters in town centres.
Aluminium grilles are lighter and suit large unit fronts; steel grilles add strength. A clear-anodised or powder-coated finish keeps a grille looking smart.
Options we can specify
- Removable intermediate posts for wide units
- Solid kick panel option
- Manual or electric operation
- Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
- Anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Aluminium or steel curtains

Covering Berkshire
We cover Berkshire from Reading to Slough, Bracknell and Maidenhead, with 10 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Before you book in Berkshire
Can things be passed through a grille?
Small items can pass through an open lattice. Polycarbonate infill panels close the gaps if that is a concern.
Can a grille cover a very wide unit?
Yes, with a stronger curtain or removable intermediate posts to keep it rigid.
Do roller grilles need planning permission?
External roller grilles usually need planning permission like other external security. Councils often find them more acceptable than solid shutters.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
