Retractable security grilles in St Helens: the essentials

Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.

What's included

  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Rated products available on request

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 St Helens?

Yes. St Helens (WA10) is within our Merseyside coverage, along with nearby Prescot, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Huyton.

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.

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 you fit outside trading hours?

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

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
