How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. 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. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.

Options we can specify

  • Internal or external fitting
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • No shutter box needed

Rules in Scotland

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Scotland fitting an external security shutter to a shopfront normally needs planning permission from the council, and listed building consent if the building is listed. Councils often ask for the box to be concealed and for open or perforated designs rather than solid shutters in conservation areas.

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Hamilton?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Hamilton. We also cover nearby Motherwell, Wishaw and Cambuslang.

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.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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