What to know about retractable security grilles in Kendal
Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.
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.
Options we can specify
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- No shutter box needed
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Internal or external fitting
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn

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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions
Do you cover Kendal?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Kendal and the LA9 district, as part of our coverage across Cumbria.
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.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
