Retractable security grilles in Greater London: the essentials

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. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.

Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.

Options we can specify

  • Rated products available on request
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • No shutter box needed

Covering Greater London

We cover Greater London from central London to Islington, Westminster and Bexley, with 81 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.

Before you book in Greater London

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
