Retractable security grilles in Sittingbourne: the essentials

The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.

Options we can specify

  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • 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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Sittingbourne?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Sittingbourne. We also cover nearby Faversham, Gillingham and Chatham.

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.

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.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
