What to know about retractable security grilles in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.
Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.
Options we can specify
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Internal or external fitting
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Ashton-in-Makerfield?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Ashton-in-Makerfield and the WN4 district, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
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 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 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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
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.
