Getting the right bespoke grille for your building

Lead time

Bespoke grilles take longer than standard ones because each is drawn and made individually.

Design approval

We agree a drawing showing bar layout, sections and finish before anything is made.

What the rules say in England

England

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Bespoke security grilles in Seaham: questions

Do you cover Houghton-le-Spring as well as Seaham?

Yes. As well as Seaham, we can arrange surveys in nearby Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland and Peterlee, and elsewhere in Durham.

Can bespoke grilles still be retractable?

Yes, within limits. Retractable grilles need straight tracks, so curved or arched parts are usually fixed.

Can you make a grille for an arched window?

Yes. Fixed and removable grilles can follow the arch exactly, and retractable grilles can be fitted below the springing line with a fixed arched panel above.

Can a grille be designed for a listed building?

Yes. Slim sections, matched colours and minimal fixings help, but listed building consent is still needed for works that affect the building's character.
