How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for
Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. 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. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.
What's included
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- No shutter box needed
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Internal or external fitting

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 you cover Catford?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Catford. We also cover nearby Blackheath, Greenwich and Beckenham.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
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.
