How roller grilles work, and what to ask for

Brick-bond, tubular and link patterns give different levels of visibility and strength. Grilles can be combined with a solid section at the base for kick protection.

Aluminium grilles are lighter and suit large unit fronts; steel grilles add strength. Councils often see roller grilles as more acceptable than solid shutters in town centres.

Options we can specify

  • Removable intermediate posts for wide units
  • Anodised or powder-coated finishes
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Solid kick panel option
  • Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
  • Optional polycarbonate infill

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Thatcham?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Thatcham. We also cover nearby Newbury, Basingstoke and Didcot.

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.

Can a grille cover a very wide unit?

Yes, with a stronger curtain or removable intermediate posts to keep it rigid.

Is a roller grille or a perforated shutter better?

A grille gives far more visibility and airflow, while a perforated shutter gives more privacy and weather protection. Shopping centres often specify grilles; high streets use both.

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 your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
