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.
What you can specify
- Mill, anodised or powder-coated finishes
- Coil box above the opening, internal or external
- Safety edges, manual override and anti-drop devices on powered grilles
- Pass doors or wicket gates on request for some wide openings
- Guide channels fixed to the face or into the reveal
- Brick-bond or straight link patterns in aluminium or steel
Fitting in Kilburn and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Kilburn and across the NW6 postcode district, as well as in nearby Cricklewood (1 mile) and Chalk Farm (2 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
Where roller security grilles are most often used:
- Car park and stairwell openings
- Counters and kiosks
- Shopping centre and arcade units
- Shops with deep heads above the glazing
What to think about first
Head space
The coil box needs height above the opening. If there is no room inside, a retractable grille is usually a better fit.
Inside or outside
Inside a shopping centre or behind glazing the grille is protected. External roller grilles normally need planning permission.
Consents and safety: England
Electric roller grilles
Electric grilles need a suitable supply wired to BS 7671. In homes, some electrical work is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. Powered grilles should have working safety devices and regular maintenance.
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 Kilburn: questions
Do you cover Cricklewood as well as Kilburn?
Yes. As well as Kilburn, we can arrange surveys in nearby Cricklewood, Chalk Farm and Camden Town, and elsewhere in Greater London.
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.
Can a roller grille be fitted inside a shop window?
Yes, where there is enough clear height above the window for the coil and guides. It is a neat option because nothing is left at the sides.
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.
