How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.

Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. 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
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Rated products available on request
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Swanley

Do you cover Swanley?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Swanley and the BR8 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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 you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

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.
