What to know about retractable security grilles in Highlands & Islands
Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.
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.
Features to choose from
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- No shutter box needed
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Rated products available on request
- Removable bar grilles for windows

Covering Highlands & Islands
We cover Highlands & Islands from Inverness to Fort William, Kirkwall and Stornoway, with 6 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in Scotland, and we check the position at survey.
Rules in Scotland
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Highlands & Islands
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 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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
