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.

What you can specify

Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours

Fitting in Chiswick and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Chiswick and across the W4 postcode district, as well as in nearby Acton (1 mile) and Barnes (1 mile). 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 shopfront security grilles are most often used:

Convenience stores and off-licences
Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
High-street shops and boutiques
Jewellers and phone shops

What to think about first

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 Chiswick: questions

Do you cover Acton as well as Chiswick?

Yes. As well as Chiswick, we can arrange surveys in nearby Acton, Barnes and Shepherds Bush, and elsewhere in Greater London.

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.

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 you fit the grille without closing the shop?

Usually. Fitting is noisy for short spells while tracks are drilled, so we offer early-morning or after-closing slots where the installer's schedule allows.
