Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Melton Mowbray
Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters. 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. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.
Options we can specify
- No shutter box needed
- Rated products available on request
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Internal or external fitting
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL

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 Melton Mowbray?
Yes. Melton Mowbray (LE13) is within our Leicestershire coverage, along with nearby Oakham, Loughborough and Oadby.
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.
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 you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
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.
