Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Edinburgh

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.

Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.

What's included

  • No shutter box needed
  • Removable bar grilles for windows

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.

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.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Edinburgh

Do you cover Edinburgh?

Yes. Edinburgh (EH1) is within our Edinburgh & the Lothians coverage, along with nearby Musselburgh, Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
