Retractable security grilles in Felixstowe

What is the price of retractable security grilles in Felixstowe?

Our guide range for retractable security grilles in Felixstowe is £414 to £1,554 including VAT (£345 to £1,295 plus VAT) per opening, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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.

Choices you can make

Galvanised or powder-coated steel, or aluminium for lighter duty
Quick-release internal handle available where a window must stay usable for escape
Folds into a stack typically around a sixth of the opening width
Vertical bars with diagonal scissor links that lock rigid when closed
White, black and anthracite as standard, other RAL colours to order
Key-operated lock box on the leading edge, with optional extra locking points

Questions we will ask at the survey

Security level

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

Bottom track or no bottom track

A bottom track gives the most rigid grille but can be a trip point across a doorway. Low-profile and removable floor tracks are available for doors.

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.

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 Felixstowe: questions

Do you cover Harwich as well as Felixstowe?

Yes. As well as Felixstowe, we can arrange surveys in nearby Harwich, Ipswich and Clacton-on-Sea, and elsewhere in Suffolk.

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.

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.
