Things to decide before you order
Inside or outside
Inside a shopping centre or behind glazing the grille is protected. External roller grilles normally need planning permission.
Manual or electric
Small grilles work well by hand. Anything large, high or used several times a day is easier and safer with a motor.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Electric roller grilles
Electric grilles need a suitable supply wired to BS 7671, with some work needing a building warrant in Scotland. Powered grilles should have working safety devices and regular maintenance.

Roller security grilles in Oban: questions
Which areas near Oban do you cover?
We can arrange work in Oban and in nearby Fort William (31 miles), Dunoon (38 miles) and Helensburgh (40 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Do roller grilles need planning permission?
Internal roller grilles generally do not. External ones normally do, and councils often prefer open-mesh grilles to solid shutters where something external is allowed.
Do electric roller grilles need servicing?
Yes. Powered grilles should be inspected and maintained regularly, including the motor, safety devices and manual override, so they stay safe to use.
What happens to an electric grille in a power cut?
Powered grilles have a manual override, usually a crank or chain, so they can be raised or lowered without power.
