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.
Specification at a glance
- Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
- Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
- Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
- Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
- Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
- Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance

Things to decide before you order
Where the stack parks
We plan stack positions around displays, pilasters and the door so the grille folds away without blocking stock.
Internal or external
Internal grilles are generally preferred by councils and rarely need planning permission. External shutters or grilles normally need consent, especially in conservation areas.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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.

Shopfront security grilles in Rochdale: questions
Do you cover Heywood as well as Rochdale?
Yes. As well as Rochdale, we can arrange surveys in nearby Heywood, Royton and Middleton, and elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
