Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in Longton

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.

Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

Options we can specify

  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Folding lattice that stacks to the side
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • Rated products available on request
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity

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.

Before you book in Longton

Do you cover Longton?

Yes. Longton (ST3) is within our Staffordshire coverage, along with nearby Newcastle-under-Lyme, Kidsgrove and Stafford.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
