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

- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
- Fold to one or both sides
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Suits openings from a single door width to several metres
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars

What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: England
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.
