Security grilles in East Sussex
Daily use matters, so staff in East Sussex and across the South East are shown how to open, stack and lock the grille before we leave.

Fixed bars can be a low-cost first step for rear windows and stockrooms that never need opening at your East Sussex premises. We look at what sits behind the glass at your East Sussex shop, because a folding grille needs room to stack and lock.

How much does it cost in East Sussex?
Expect £795 to £1,995 ex VAT per opening. If an exit is affected, staff at premises in the South East need a clear opening routine, and we build that into your East Sussex grille design. We set out every cost in writing before work starts.

Common questions
Do you cover all of East Sussex?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across East Sussex, including Brighton, Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes.
Do I need planning permission for security grilles?
Internal grilles usually do not need planning permission in England, but external ones often do if they change the look of the building. Listed buildings can need consent for either type. Rules differ in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so we confirm this before ordering.
Will a grille damage my shopfront frame?
Not if it is fixed properly. Side tracks need a sound substrate, so we fix into masonry or add a steel subframe and do not rely on thin aluminium sections. On listed buildings, fixing positions must be planned carefully, and consent may be required.
Can I fit a grille over a fire exit?
Only if it is fully open or unlocked while anyone is inside. An emergency exit cannot be locked in a way that stops people getting out. Your fire risk assessment must cover this, and a lockable grille needs a clear daily routine with a named person responsible.
