What to know about roller grilles in Northamptonshire
Polycarbonate infill panels can be added to stop items being passed through the lattice. Grilles can be combined with a solid section at the base for kick protection. 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. Shopping centres often require roller grilles rather than solid shutters on unit fronts.
Options we can specify
- Optional polycarbonate infill
- Brick-bond, tubular or link lattice
- Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
- Anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Solid kick panel option
- Aluminium or steel curtains

Covering Northamptonshire
We cover Northamptonshire from Northampton to Corby, Kettering and Wellingborough, with 6 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 Northamptonshire
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.
Can a grille cover a very wide unit?
Yes, with a stronger curtain or removable intermediate posts to keep it rigid.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
