Retractable security grilles in York: the essentials
Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts.
What's included
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Internal or external fitting
- Rated products available on request
- No shutter box needed
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side

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 York?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in York and the YO1 district, as part of our coverage across North Yorkshire.
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 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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
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.
