Retractable security grilles in Maidstone: the essentials
Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.
Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.
What's included
- Internal or external fitting
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- No shutter box needed
- Rated products available on request
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side

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 Maidstone
Do you cover Maidstone?
Yes. Maidstone (ME14) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
