Retractable security grilles in Ely: the essentials
Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.
Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.
Features to choose from
- Internal or external fitting
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn

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
Do you cover Ely?
Yes. Ely (CB7) is within our Cambridgeshire coverage, along with nearby Newmarket, March and Cambridge.
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 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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
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.
