Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Southampton

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. 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. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.

Specification options

  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Internal or external fitting
  • No shutter box needed
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side

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.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Southampton

Do you cover Southampton?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Southampton and the SO15 district, as part of our coverage across Hampshire.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
