Budget £1,195 to £3,495 plus VAT (£1,434 to £4,194 inc VAT) per shopfront for shopfront security grilles in Ebbw Vale, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.

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.

Getting the right shopfront grille for your building

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.

What the rules say in Wales

Wales

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings in Wales need listed building consent for works affecting their character, decided by the local planning authority with Cadw's involvement where required. Conservation areas bring extra scrutiny of external changes. Check with the council before ordering.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local planning authority. Welsh councils' shopfront and design guidance generally favours internal, see-through security over solid external shutters.

Shopfront security grilles in Ebbw Vale: questions

Can you survey in Ebbw Vale and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Ebbw Vale, Merthyr Tydfil, Pontypool and elsewhere in Gwent are booked around installer availability.

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.

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.
