Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in East Sussex

Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices.

Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.

Specification options

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

Covering East Sussex

We cover East Sussex from Brighton to Eastbourne, Hastings and Hove, with 8 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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 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.

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 your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
