Bi-folding security gates in Winsford: what will it cost?
Our guide range for bi-folding security gates in Winsford is £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
A bi-folding security gate is made of hinged leaves of vertical bars that fold against each other as they slide along a top track. It covers wide openings like a retractable grille but folds into fewer, flatter panels with no scissor lattice.
What you can specify
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
- Fold to one or both sides

Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
What the rules say in England
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.
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.

Bi-folding security gates in Winsford: questions
Do you cover Northwich as well as Winsford?
Yes. As well as Winsford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Northwich, Crewe and Congleton, and elsewhere in Cheshire.
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.
How wide can a bi-fold gate be?
From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.
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.
