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

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

Fitting in Hertford and nearby

We arrange surveys and fitting in Hertford and across the SG13 postcode district, as well as in nearby Hoddesdon (4 miles) and Welwyn Garden City (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Hertfordshire mixes the garden cities of Letchworth and Welwyn, post-war new towns such as Stevenage, and historic centres like St Albans.

Pharmacies and opticians
Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
Jewellers and phone shops
Convenience stores and off-licences

Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

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 Hertford: questions

Do you cover Hoddesdon as well as Hertford?

Yes. As well as Hertford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hoddesdon, Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield, and elsewhere in Hertfordshire.

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.

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.
