How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.

The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.

  • No shutter box needed
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Internal or external fitting
  • 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 Willesden?

Yes. Willesden (NW10) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Cricklewood, Notting Hill and Shepherds Bush.

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 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 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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
