What to know about roller grilles in Northumberland

Aluminium grilles are lighter and suit large unit fronts; steel grilles add strength. 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.

Wide grilles use intermediate posts or a stronger curtain to resist being pushed in. Shopping centres often require roller grilles rather than solid shutters on unit fronts.

Options we can specify

  • Brick-bond, tubular or link lattice
  • Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
  • Removable intermediate posts for wide units
  • Optional polycarbonate infill
  • Aluminium or steel curtains
  • Manual or electric operation

Covering Northumberland

We cover Northumberland from Blyth to Cramlington, Ashington and Morpeth, 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 Northumberland

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
