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.
Choices you can make
- Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
- Fitted behind the glass so the shopfront itself is unchanged
- Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible
- Stack positions planned around stallrisers, pilasters and display units
- Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
- Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours

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.
Risk level
Phone shops, jewellers and pharmacies may want heavier sections, more locking points or a certified product.
Rules that apply in England
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.
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.

Shopfront security grilles in Folkestone: questions
Can you survey in Folkestone and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Folkestone, Dover, Ashford and elsewhere in Kent are booked around installer availability.
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.
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.
