What to know about retractable security grilles in Aberdeen

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.

Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.

What's included

  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • No shutter box needed
  • Internal or external fitting

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. Tell us about the opening

    Send the postcode, a rough size and a photo if you have one, using the form or a call.

  2. Free survey

    We measure, check the structure, power supply and planning position, and talk through options.

  3. Written fixed price

    You get a written quote with the product, finish, controls and price before anything is ordered.

  4. Made, fitted and handed over

    The shutter is made to measure, fitted, commissioned and handed over with its documents.

Retractable security grilles: common questions

Do you cover Aberdeen?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Aberdeen. We also cover the rest of Grampian.

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 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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

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.
