Frequently asked questions
Are roller grilles secure?
They form a strong barrier against entry, but small items could be reached through the gaps, so they suit displays rather than open counters of small goods.
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 Skelmersdale?
Possibly. New external shutters on shopfronts and street-facing elevations usually need planning permission. We recommend checking with your local council first.
Do you cover Skelmersdale?
Yes. Book a survey for any address in Skelmersdale in the usual way; it is covered as part of Lancashire.
