Retractable security grilles in Oadby: the essentials
Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.
The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.
Features to choose from
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Internal or external fitting
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- No shutter box needed
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity

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.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Oadby
Do you cover Oadby?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Oadby. We also cover nearby Wigston, Market Harborough and Loughborough.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
