How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.

The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.

Features to choose from

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

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.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Chalk Farm

Do you cover Chalk Farm?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Chalk Farm and the NW3 district, as part of our coverage across 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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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