How much should I budget for bi-folding security gates in Llanelli?
Budget £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening for bi-folding security gates in Llanelli, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the survey.
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.

Fitting in Llanelli and nearby
Surveys in Llanelli (SA15) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Gorseinon (5 miles) and Swansea (10 miles).
South-west Wales is largely rural, with stone and rendered terraces in towns such as Llanelli, Carmarthen and Haverfordwest and many holiday properties on the coast.
Where bi-folding security gates are most often used:
- Loading doors and goods-in
- Wide internal openings
- Office receptions and showrooms
- Garden room and orangery openings
What to think about first
Folded stack size
Leaves stack flatter than a lattice but each leaf has a fixed width, so the stack is planned with the room layout.
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
Consents and safety: Wales
Grilles inside the glass
A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Wales, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.
Grilles across exits in business premises
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies in Wales, including to the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs. The responsible person must keep escape routes and exits available and easy to open while people are present, so a grille across an exit should be open whenever the premises are occupied.
