How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.

Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

What's included

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

Retractable security grilles: common questions

Do you cover Birkenhead?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Birkenhead and the CH41 district, as part of our coverage across Merseyside.

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.

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.
