Retractable security grilles in West Sussex: the essentials
Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. 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.
Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters. Some grilles are tested to security standards such as LPS 1175 or STS 202 if a rated product is needed.
Features to choose from
- Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
- Removable bar grilles for windows
- Rated products available on request
- Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
- Folding lattice that stacks to the side
- Powder coated in black, white or RAL

Covering West Sussex
We cover West Sussex from Crawley to Worthing, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, with 9 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.
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.

Your questions answered
Are grilles as secure as shutters?
A good grille with top and bottom tracks is a strong deterrent and hard to defeat quickly. For tested security, rated grilles are available.
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.
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.
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.
