What to know about retractable security grilles in Harwich

The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Rated products available on request
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side

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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions

Do you cover Harwich?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Harwich and the CO12 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
