Retractable security grilles in Whitehaven: the essentials

Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.

What's included

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

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  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 Whitehaven

Do you cover Whitehaven?

Yes. Whitehaven (CA28) is within our Cumbria coverage, along with nearby Workington.

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 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.

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.

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.
