Getting the right commercial grille for your building
Escape routes
Grilles across exits must be managed so they never obstruct escape while people are inside.
Landlord consent
Leased premises usually need the landlord's agreement for fixings and alterations.
What the rules say in 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 inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Commercial security grilles in Houghton-le-Spring: questions
Which areas near Houghton-le-Spring do you cover?
We can arrange work in Houghton-le-Spring and in nearby Chester-le-Street (5 miles), Washington (5 miles) and Seaham (5 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
Can you meet our insurer's requirements?
Send us the insurer's wording and we will quote to it. The insurer decides whether a product meets the policy.
Do we need the landlord's permission?
If you lease the building, usually yes, because grilles are fixed to the structure.
