Roller grilles in Greater London: the essentials

A clear-anodised or powder-coated finish keeps a grille looking smart. Shopping centres often require roller grilles rather than solid shutters on unit fronts. Aluminium grilles are lighter and suit large unit fronts; steel grilles add strength.

Polycarbonate infill panels can be added to stop items being passed through the lattice. Councils often see roller grilles as more acceptable than solid shutters in town centres.

Features to choose from

  • Solid kick panel option
  • Brick-bond, tubular or link lattice
  • Aluminium or steel curtains
  • Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Optional polycarbonate infill

Covering Greater London

We cover Greater London from central London to Islington, Westminster and Bexley, with 81 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.

Roller grilles: common questions

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
