A roller security grille is a curtain of linked aluminium or steel tubes that coils into a box above the opening. Lowered, it gives an open-mesh barrier you can see through; raised, it leaves the full width clear with nothing parked at the sides.

Fitting in Whitehaven and nearby
Whitehaven is about 35 miles from Carlisle, the main centre for Cumbria. We can survey and fit across the CA28 district and in nearby places such as Workington and Barrow-in-Furness.
Cumbria mixes stone-built houses in its market towns and Lake District villages with industrial-era terraces in Barrow, Workington and Whitehaven.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Shops with deep heads above the glazing
- Car park and stairwell openings
- Shopping centre and arcade units
- Wide internal openings and lobbies
Things to decide before you order
Head space
The coil box needs height above the opening. If there is no room inside, a retractable grille is usually a better fit.
Powered door safety
Electric grilles are powered doors, so they need the right safety devices, a risk assessment and regular maintenance.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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.

Roller security grilles in Whitehaven: questions
Do you cover Workington as well as Whitehaven?
Yes. As well as Whitehaven, we can arrange surveys in nearby Workington, Barrow-in-Furness and Penrith, and elsewhere in Cumbria.
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.
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.
Is a roller grille the same as a roller shutter?
No. A shutter uses solid or perforated slats; a grille uses an open mesh of tubes and links, so you can see through it and air can pass.
