What is the price of bi-folding security gates in Swinton?
As a guide, bi-folding security gates in Swinton cost £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free 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.

Planning and safety 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 Swinton: questions
Can you survey in Swinton and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Swinton, Eccles, Walkden and elsewhere in Greater Manchester are booked around installer availability.
Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?
Yes, in most RAL colours.
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.
How wide can a bi-fold gate be?
From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.
