Fitting in Canterbury and nearby
Canterbury is about 24 miles from Maidstone, the main centre for Kent. We can survey and fit across the CT1 district and in nearby places such as Whitstable and Herne Bay.
Kent ranges from Medway's Victorian terraces and Thanet's seaside towns to listed medieval centres such as Canterbury and Rochester.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Garden room and orangery openings
- Office receptions and showrooms
- Restaurant and bar frontages
- Wide internal openings
Things to decide before you order
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.
Rules that apply 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 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 Canterbury: questions
Do you cover Whitstable as well as Canterbury?
Yes. As well as Canterbury, we can arrange surveys in nearby Whitstable, Herne Bay and Faversham, and elsewhere in Kent.
How wide can a bi-fold gate be?
From a single doorway up to several metres, split to fold both ways on wider openings.
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.
Can bi-fold gates be powder-coated to match our frames?
Yes, in most RAL colours.
