What to know about roller grilles in Cumbria
A clear-anodised or powder-coated finish keeps a grille looking smart. Wide grilles use intermediate posts or a stronger curtain to resist being pushed in. Aluminium grilles are lighter and suit large unit fronts; steel grilles add strength.
Brick-bond, tubular and link patterns give different levels of visibility and strength. Roller grilles roll into a box like a shutter, and can be manual or electric.
Specification options
- Optional polycarbonate infill
- Removable intermediate posts for wide units
- Brick-bond, tubular or link lattice
- Aluminium or steel curtains
- Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
- Solid kick panel option

Covering Cumbria
We cover Cumbria from Carlisle to Barrow-in-Furness, Kendal and Whitehaven, with 5 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.

Questions about roller grilles in Cumbria
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
