Retractable security grilles in Ilford: the essentials

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.

Options we can specify

  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Rated products available on request
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Internal or external fitting
  • No shutter box needed
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL

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 Ilford?

Yes. Ilford (IG1) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Barking, Becontree and Leytonstone.

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.

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
