What to know about retractable security grilles in Chester-le-Street
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.
Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
Features to choose from
- Internal or external fitting
- No shutter box needed
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Rated products available on request
- 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 Chester-le-Street?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Chester-le-Street. We also cover nearby Washington, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
