How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for
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. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.
Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.
Features to choose from
- Rated products available on request
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Internal or external fitting
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- No shutter box needed
- Removable bar grilles for windows

Covering Essex
We cover Essex from Southend-on-Sea to Basildon, Colchester and Chelmsford, with 22 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.
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 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.
