Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Greenwich
The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.
Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.
Options we can specify
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- No shutter box needed
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Rated products available on request
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- 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 Greenwich?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Greenwich. We also cover nearby Blackheath, Canary Wharf and Catford.
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.
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.
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.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
