What to think about first
Keys and procedures
Decide who locks up and whether one key or a master suite suits the business.
Escape routes
Grilles across exits must be managed so they never obstruct escape while people are inside.
Consents and safety: 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.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Commercial security grilles in Berkshire: questions
Which towns in Berkshire do you cover?
We can arrange work anywhere in Berkshire, including Reading, Slough, Bracknell, Maidenhead and Wokingham, and in other towns across the area.
Can grilles go across fire exits?
Only if they do not obstruct escape while the building is occupied. That usually means they are unlocked and parked open during working hours and locked only when the building is empty.
Do we need the landlord's permission?
If you lease the building, usually yes, because grilles are fixed to the structure.
Can you work outside office hours?
Out-of-hours fitting can usually be arranged; the installer's availability is confirmed when you book.
