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.

Fitting in Letchworth Garden City and nearby
Letchworth Garden City is about 24 miles from Watford, the main centre for Hertfordshire. We can survey and fit across the SG6 district and in nearby places such as Hitchin and Stevenage.
Hertfordshire mixes the garden cities of Letchworth and Welwyn, post-war new towns such as Stevenage, and historic centres like St Albans.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Cafés, restaurants and takeaways
- High-street shops and boutiques
- Convenience stores and off-licences
- Jewellers and phone shops
Things to decide before you order
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.
Where the stack parks
We plan stack positions around displays, pilasters and the door so the grille folds away without blocking stock.
Rules that apply in England
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
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.

Shopfront security grilles in Letchworth Garden City: questions
Can you survey in Letchworth Garden City and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Letchworth Garden City, Hitchin, Stevenage and elsewhere in Hertfordshire are booked around installer availability.
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 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.
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.
