What the rules say in Wales

Wales

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

Front door security gates in Pontypool: questions

Which areas near Pontypool do you cover?

We can arrange work in Pontypool and in nearby Cwmbran (3 miles), Risca (7 miles) and Newport (8 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can the gate be locked from outside?

Yes. Front door gates normally lock with a key from outside and a thumb-turn or key from inside.

Can I fit a security gate to my flat door?

Usually, with the building owner's permission. Flat entrance doors often form part of a building's fire safety arrangements, so the gate must not obstruct escape or compromise the door.

Will I still get post?

We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
