How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. 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. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

Features to choose from

  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • No shutter box needed
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • 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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Seaham

Do you cover Seaham?

Yes. Seaham (SR7) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland and Peterlee.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
