What to know about retractable security grilles in Christchurch

Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.

Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

Options we can specify

  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Rated products available on request
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • No shutter box needed

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 Christchurch?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Christchurch. We also cover nearby New Milton, Poole and Totton.

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 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.

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 you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
