Retractable security grilles in Cardiff: the essentials
The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.
Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.
Features to choose from
- Rated products available on request
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Internal or external fitting

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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions
Do you cover Cardiff?
Yes. Cardiff (CF10) is within our South Glamorgan coverage, along with nearby Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry.
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.
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 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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
