Security grilles in Greater London
A grille keeps your Greater London window display in view after closing, which suits owners who want passers-by to see the stock at night.

Fixed bars can be a low-cost first step for rear windows and stockrooms that never need opening at your Greater London premises. If an exit is affected, staff at premises in London need a clear opening routine, and we build that into your Greater London grille design.

Common questions
Do you cover all of Greater London?
Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Greater London, including Acton, Barking, Brixton, Bromley.
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.
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.
Is a grille as secure as a roller shutter?
It depends on the product and the risk. A solid external shutter covers the glass, while an internal grille sits behind it and leaves the pane open to damage. A well-made grille still blocks access to stock. For tested performance, look for LPS 1175 rated products.
