Choosing retractable security grilles for premises in North Shields
Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.
Grilles can be fitted to rear doors, stock rooms and vulnerable ground-floor windows as well as shopfronts. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
Options we can specify
- Rated products available on request
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side

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 North Shields
Do you cover North Shields?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in North Shields. We also cover nearby Tynemouth, South Shields and Whitley Bay.
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.
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.
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.
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.
