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.

- Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged

Fitting in Barnstaple and nearby
Barnstaple is about 49 miles from Plymouth, the main centre for Devon. We can survey and fit across the EX31 district and in nearby places such as Bideford and Tiverton.

This type of grille suits:
- Pharmacies and opticians
- High-street shops and boutiques
- Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
- Jewellers and phone shops
Questions we will ask at the survey
Risk level
Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.
Lattice or roller
Retractable lattice suits most shop windows. An internal roller grille needs space for the coil above the window but leaves nothing at the sides.

Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Shopfront security grilles in Barnstaple: questions
Which areas near Barnstaple do you cover?
We can arrange work in Barnstaple and in nearby Bideford (8 miles), Tiverton (28 miles) and Exeter (34 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Will my insurer accept a grille?
Some insurers specify grilles or shutters for certain stock or cash levels. Send us their wording and we will quote to it; the insurer decides whether a product meets their policy.
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.
