Choosing roller grilles for premises in Colchester

Councils often see roller grilles as more acceptable than solid shutters in town centres. Roller grilles roll into a box like a shutter, and can be manual or electric.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Brick-bond, tubular or link lattice
  • Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
  • Anodised or powder-coated finishes
  • Optional polycarbonate infill
  • Removable intermediate posts for wide units
  • Solid kick panel option

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

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  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.

Questions about roller grilles in Colchester

Do you cover Colchester?

Yes. Colchester (CO1) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham.

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.

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.

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.

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.
