Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Canterbury

Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.

  • 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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions

Do you cover Canterbury?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Canterbury and the CT1 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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.

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.

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.
