What to know about retractable security grilles in London
Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.
Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
What's included
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- No shutter box needed
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Rated products available on request
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- 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 London?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in London. We also cover nearby Westminster, Pimlico and Islington.
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.
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 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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
