Retractable security grilles in Dunstable: the essentials

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices.

Specification options

  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Rated products available on request

Where we work around Dunstable

Jobs in Dunstable are planned as part of our Bedfordshire coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Leighton Buzzard, Harpenden and Berkhamsted. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions

Do you cover Dunstable?

Yes. Dunstable (LU6) is within our Bedfordshire coverage, along with nearby Leighton Buzzard, Harpenden and Berkhamsted.

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.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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