How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

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

Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.

Options we can specify

  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Rated products available on request
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • No shutter box needed

Rules in Wales

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In Wales an external shopfront shutter normally needs planning permission from your county or county borough council, or the national park authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Welsh councils' design guidance often prefers internal or open-pattern grilles to solid shutters, particularly in conservation areas.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Aberdare?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Aberdare. We also cover nearby Merthyr Tydfil, Tonypandy and Pontypridd.

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.

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 you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
