How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for
Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.
Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. 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
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- No shutter box needed
- Removable bar grilles for windows

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.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Folkestone
Do you cover Folkestone?
Yes. Folkestone (CT19) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Dover, Ashford (Kent) and Deal.
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 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.
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.
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.
