Retractable security grilles in Gateshead: the essentials
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.
Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed. Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment.
Features to choose from
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Rated products available on request
- No shutter box needed
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- 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.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Gateshead
Do you cover Gateshead?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Gateshead and the NE8 district, as part of our coverage across Tyne and Wear.
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.
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.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
