Security grilles in Tyne and Wear

If an exit is affected, staff at premises in the North East need a clear opening routine, and we build that into your Tyne and Wear grille design.

Retractable security grille behind a shop window at night

We look at what sits behind the glass at your Tyne and Wear shop, because a folding grille needs room to stack and lock. Owners across the North East with more than one opening can have every grille priced together, including any at your Tyne and Wear branch.

Tube and link roller grilleRolls into a box above the opening, keeping the view through at night and clear space by day.

Common questions

Do you cover all of Tyne and Wear?

Yes. ShopFronts UK works across Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead, Hebburn, Jarrow, Newcastle upon Tyne.

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.

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.

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.
