What to know about retractable security grilles in Westhoughton

Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.

The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.

Options we can specify

  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Rated products available on request
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • No shutter box needed

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Westhoughton?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Westhoughton. We also cover nearby Atherton, Hindley and Tyldesley.

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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
