How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.

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
  • No shutter box needed
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity

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 Chingford?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Chingford and the E4 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.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

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.
