Consents and safety: 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.
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.

Roller security grilles in Newport, Isle of Wight: questions
Can you survey in Newport, Isle of Wight and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Newport, Isle of Wight, Cowes, Ryde and elsewhere in Isle of Wight are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
