Retractable security grilles in Helensburgh: the essentials
Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.
Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.
Features to choose from
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Rated products available on request
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Internal or external fitting
- Removable bar grilles for windows

Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Helensburgh
Do you cover Helensburgh?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Helensburgh and the G84 district, as part of our coverage across Argyll & Bute.
Do retractable grilles need planning permission?
Grilles fitted inside the glazing usually do not need planning permission, though listed buildings may need consent. External grilles are treated like other external security and often need permission.
Do grilles get in the way during the day?
Retractable grilles fold neatly to the side of the opening. Removable grilles can be lifted out and stored.
Can a grille be fitted on a fire exit?
Only if it can be opened quickly from the inside without a key, and the fire risk assessment allows it. We check this before fitting.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
