Retractable security grilles in Suffolk: the essentials

Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent.

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices.

Options we can specify

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

Covering Suffolk

We cover Suffolk from Ipswich to Lowestoft, Bury St Edmunds and Haverhill, with 8 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
