A shopfront security grille is a wide retractable or roller grille fitted behind the shop window and entrance. It protects the glass line after closing while leaving the display visible, which is why many councils prefer it to a solid external shutter.

Choices you can make

Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance

What to think about first

Risk level

Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Grilles across exits in business premises

The Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 make the appropriate person keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.

Shopfront security grilles in Newry: questions

Do you cover Banbridge as well as Newry?

Yes. As well as Newry, we can arrange surveys in nearby Banbridge, Armagh and Portadown, and elsewhere in County Down.

Can customers see into the shop with the grille closed?

Yes. An open lattice or open-mesh roller grille keeps the display visible, which helps window shopping after hours and natural surveillance of the street.

Can the grille cover the shop door too?

Yes. The door is covered by its own leaf, by a separate gate, or by including it in the main grille run.

Do I need planning permission for a shop grille?

An internal grille behind the glass does not usually need planning permission. External shutters and grilles normally do, and listed buildings need listed building consent for internal or external works that affect their character.
