Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Hitchin

Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.

The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

Options we can specify

  • No shutter box needed
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Rated products available on request
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity

Where we work around Hitchin

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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions

Do you cover Hitchin?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Hitchin and the SG4 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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

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.
