Retractable security grilles in Edinburgh & the Lothians: the essentials

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. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.

Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.

Features to choose from

  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • No shutter box needed
  • Rated products available on request
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL

Covering Edinburgh & the Lothians

We cover Edinburgh & the Lothians from Edinburgh to Livingston, Musselburgh and Bathgate, with 4 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

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.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
