How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.

Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

Options we can specify

  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Internal or external fitting
  • No shutter box needed
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL

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 Stanley?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Stanley and the DH9 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.

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 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 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.
