Retractable security grilles in Hemel Hempstead: the essentials

Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.

Options we can specify

  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Rated products available on request
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Internal or external fitting
  • 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.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Hemel Hempstead?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Hemel Hempstead and the HP3 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
