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
- Internal open-mesh roller grilles where there is head space for the coil
- Door leaf or separate gate across the entrance
- Brushed, galvanised, white, black or RAL colours
- Multi-leaf retractable layouts for windows several metres wide
- Heavier sections and extra locking for higher-risk trades
- Fitting scheduled outside trading hours where possible

What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: 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 Clevedon: questions
Do you cover Nailsea as well as Clevedon?
Yes. As well as Clevedon, we can arrange surveys in nearby Nailsea, Portishead and Weston-super-Mare, and elsewhere in Somerset.
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.
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.
