Retractable security grilles in St Neots: the essentials
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.
Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
Specification options
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Rated products available on request
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- No shutter box needed
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Removable bar grilles for windows

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 St Neots?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in St Neots. We also cover nearby Huntingdon, Bedford and Rushden.
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.
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.
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.
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.
