Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Chatham
Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.
Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.
Specification options
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- 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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions
Do you cover Chatham?
Yes. Chatham (ME4) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Gillingham, Rochester and Strood.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
