Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Westminster
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.
Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
Specification options
- No shutter box needed
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Rated products available on request
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- 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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions
Do you cover Westminster?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Westminster and the SW1 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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
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.
