Bi-folding security gates in Croydon: what will it cost?
Our guide range for bi-folding security gates in Croydon 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
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Neat folded stack for receptions and showrooms
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
Fitting in Croydon and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Croydon and across the CR0 postcode district, as well as in nearby South Croydon (1 mile) and Wallington (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
Common openings for bi-folding security gates:
- Loading doors and goods-in
- Garden room and orangery openings
- Office receptions and showrooms
- Restaurant and bar frontages
Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building
Infill
Add mesh or solid panels where you want to stop reach-through or hide the area behind.
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
What the rules say in England
Grilles across exits in business premises
In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.
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.
