Fitting in Welwyn Garden City and nearby

Welwyn Garden City is about 13 miles from Watford, the main centre for Hertfordshire. We can survey and fit across the AL8 district and in nearby places such as Hatfield and Hertford.

Hertfordshire mixes the garden cities of Letchworth and Welwyn, post-war new towns such as Stevenage, and historic centres like St Albans.

Where roller security grilles are most often used:

Shopping centre and arcade units
Wide internal openings and lobbies
Counters and kiosks
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.

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.

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.

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.

Roller security grilles in Welwyn Garden City: questions

Which areas near Welwyn Garden City do you cover?

We can arrange work in Welwyn Garden City and in nearby Hatfield (3 miles), Hertford (6 miles) and St Albans (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

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.
