How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.

Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.

What's included

  • Internal or external fitting
  • No shutter box needed
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Rated products available on request

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.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Bishop Auckland

Do you cover Bishop Auckland?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Bishop Auckland and the DL14 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.

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.

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 you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

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.
