Fitting in Westhoughton and nearby
Westhoughton is about 13 miles from Manchester, the main centre for Greater Manchester. We can survey and fit across the BL5 district and in nearby places such as Atherton and Hindley.

- Restaurant and bar frontages

Things to decide before you order
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
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.
Rules that apply in 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.
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.

Bi-folding security gates in Westhoughton: questions
Which areas near Westhoughton do you cover?
We can arrange work in Westhoughton and in nearby Atherton (2 miles), Hindley (3 miles) and Tyldesley (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
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.
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.
Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?
Yes, in most RAL colours.
