Retractable security grilles in Cornwall: the essentials

Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. 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.

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

Specification options

  • Internal or external fitting
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Rated products available on request
  • No shutter box needed

Covering Cornwall

We cover Cornwall from Truro to Falmouth, St Austell and Truro, with 6 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

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 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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
