Retractable security grilles in Selby: what will it cost?

Retractable security grilles in Selby typically cost £414 to £1,554 including VAT (£345 to £1,295 plus VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. Use the quote tool for a guide figure, then we survey and confirm a fixed price.

A retractable security grille is a steel or aluminium lattice of vertical bars joined by scissor links that runs in a top and bottom track. Drawn across a window or door it forms a locked barrier; slid back, it folds into a narrow stack at the side so the opening is fully usable.

What you can specify

Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
Single, double or multi-leaf layouts for wide openings
White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
Key-operated lock box on the leading edge, with optional extra locking points
Top-hung or bottom-running versions to suit the floor or sill
Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width

We arrange surveys and fitting in Selby and across the YO8 postcode district, as well as in nearby Goole (10 miles) and Pontefract (12 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Office receptions and glazed partitions
Stockrooms and cash offices
Back doors, French doors and patio doors

Getting the right retractable grille for your building

Inside or outside the glass

Inside is the norm: it is protected from weather, keeps the street view unchanged and usually avoids planning issues. Outside fitting suits recessed doorways and openings with no internal depth.

Security level

Domestic grilles suit most homes. Shops, pharmacies and high-value stock may justify heavier sections or a third-party certified product.

What the rules say in England

England

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.

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.

Retractable security grilles in Selby: questions

Do you cover Goole as well as Selby?

Yes. As well as Selby, we can arrange surveys in nearby Goole, Pontefract and York, and elsewhere in North Yorkshire.

How long does a retractable grille take to fit?

Most single windows or doors are fitted in an hour or two once the made-to-measure grille arrives. A shopfront or several openings may take a day.

Do retractable grilles need a bottom track?

Most do, because the bottom track stops the grille being pushed out of line. On doorways a low or recessed track can be used to reduce the trip hazard, and some top-hung designs work without one on smaller openings.

Will a grille stop me opening my windows?

No. An internal grille sits inside the reveal, so you can open the window as normal when the grille is folded back, and usually with it closed if there is enough depth between grille and glass.
