Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Colchester
Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.
Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.
What's included
- Internal or external fitting
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- No shutter box needed
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Rated products available on request

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.

Before you book in Colchester
Do you cover Colchester?
Yes. Colchester (CO1) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham.
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.
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.
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.
