Retractable security grilles in Leighton Buzzard: the essentials
Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.
Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters. The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices.
Options we can specify
- Internal or external fitting
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- No shutter box needed
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Rated products available on request
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL

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 Leighton Buzzard?
Yes. Leighton Buzzard (LU7) is within our Bedfordshire coverage, along with nearby Dunstable, Bletchley and Milton Keynes.
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 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.
Are grilles as secure as shutters?
A good grille with top and bottom tracks is a strong deterrent and hard to defeat quickly. For tested security, rated grilles are available.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
