What to know about retractable security grilles in Tynemouth

Grilles on escape routes need to be openable quickly from the inside, which is checked against the fire risk assessment. Top and bottom tracks keep the grille rigid and hard to lift or push in.

Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation. Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door.

Options we can specify

  • Powder coated in black, white or RAL
  • Rated products available on request
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Internal or external fitting
  • No shutter box needed

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 Tynemouth

Do you cover Tynemouth?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair retractable security grilles in Tynemouth and the NE30 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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
