What to know about retractable security grilles in Sunderland
Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.
Powder-coated grilles in black or white blend with most frontages. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.
What's included
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Internal or external fitting
- Rated products available on request
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- No shutter box needed
- 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.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Sunderland
Do you cover Sunderland?
Yes. Sunderland (SR1) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Seaham, Washington and Houghton-le-Spring.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
