What to know about retractable security grilles in Dartford
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.
Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.
What's included
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Internal or external fitting
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Rated products available on request

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.

Before you book in Dartford
Do you cover Dartford?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Dartford. We also cover nearby Bexley, Swanley and Welling.
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.
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.
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.
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.
