Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Hertford

Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.

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.

Features to choose from

  • No shutter box needed
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • 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.

  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.

Before you book in Hertford

Do you cover Hertford?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Hertford and the SG13 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.

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.

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

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.
