How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for
Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.
The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
What's included
- Internal or external fitting
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Rated products available on request
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn

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.

Retractable security grilles: common questions
Do you cover South Shields?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in South Shields and the NE33 district, as part of our coverage across Tyne and Wear.
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.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
