Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Northampton

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.

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages.

Specification options

  • No shutter box needed
  • Rated products available on request
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Internal or external fitting

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.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Retractable security grilles: common questions

Do you cover Northampton?

Yes. Northampton (NN1) is within our Northamptonshire coverage, along with nearby Wellingborough, Daventry and Rushden.

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.

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.

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.

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.
