Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Thamesmead

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.

Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.

Features to choose from

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

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.

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Thamesmead

Do you cover Thamesmead?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Thamesmead. We also cover nearby Barking, Welling and Becontree.

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.

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.

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 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.
