Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Ashington

Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Internal or external fitting
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • No shutter box needed

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 Ashington?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ashington. We also cover nearby Morpeth, Cramlington and Whitley Bay.

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.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
