Roller grilles in Tyne and Wear: the essentials
Wide grilles use intermediate posts or a stronger curtain to resist being pushed in. Polycarbonate infill panels can be added to stop items being passed through the lattice. Brick-bond, tubular and link patterns give different levels of visibility and strength.
An open curtain lets air and light through, so displays stay on view and the unit does not look closed down. Aluminium grilles are lighter and suit large unit fronts; steel grilles add strength.
What's included
- Anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Optional polycarbonate infill
- Removable intermediate posts for wide units
- Manual or electric operation
- Suited to shopping centre unit fronts
- Aluminium or steel curtains

Covering Tyne and Wear
We cover Tyne and Wear from Newcastle upon Tyne to Sunderland, South Shields and Gateshead, with 12 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 Tyne and Wear
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.
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.
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 your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
