How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.

Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.

What's included

  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • No shutter box needed
  • Rated products available on request

Covering Bedfordshire

We cover Bedfordshire from Luton to Bedford, Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard, with 5 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.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
