Shopfront security grilles in Lincolnshire

Shopfront security grilles in Lincolnshire: what will it cost?

Our guide range for shopfront security grilles in Lincolnshire is £1,195 to £3,495 plus VAT (£1,434 to £4,194 inc VAT) per shopfront, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.

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.

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.

What the rules say 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.

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 Lincolnshire: questions

Which towns in Lincolnshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Lincolnshire, including Lincoln, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Boston and Grantham, and in other towns across the area.

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.

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.
