Many require open grilles for internal units; check your lease or fit-out guide.
Can a grille go inside the shop?
Yes. Internal grilles behind the glass are common where planning or the landlord prefers the shopfront unchanged.
Do I need permission for roller grilles in Folkestone?
It depends on the property. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
