Fitting in Chester and nearby

Chester is about 19 miles from Warrington, the main centre for Cheshire. We can survey and fit across the CH1 district and in nearby places such as Ellesmere Port and Halewood.

Cheshire has half-timbered and listed buildings in central Chester, Victorian terraces in Crewe and Warrington, and large modern estates across the county.

This type of grille suits:

Wide internal openings
Restaurant and bar frontages
Office receptions and showrooms
Loading doors and goods-in

Questions we will ask at the survey

Look

Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.

Infill

Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission, because it does not materially change how the building looks from outside. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Bi-folding security gates in Chester: questions

Can you survey in Chester and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Chester, Ellesmere Port, Halewood and elsewhere in Cheshire are booked around installer availability.

Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?

Yes, in most RAL colours.

Do bi-fold gates need a floor track?

They need some bottom guidance, which can be a recessed channel or discreet floor pins rather than a raised track.

What is the difference between a bi-fold gate and a retractable grille?

A retractable grille uses a scissor lattice that concertinas; a bi-fold gate uses rigid hinged leaves that fold flat. Bi-folds look more architectural; retractables fold into a narrower stack.
