Bi-folding security gates in Norwich: what will it cost?
Budget £954 to £2,634 including VAT (£795 to £2,195 plus VAT) per opening for bi-folding security gates in Norwich, supplied and fitted. Size, number of leaves, colour and access all move the price, which is fixed in writing after the 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.
Choices you can make
- Rigid hinged leaves of vertical bars
- Mesh or solid infill panels on request
- Fold to one or both sides
- Black, anthracite and RAL colours
- Lock box on the leading leaf plus shoot bolts
- Top-hung on a heavy track with bottom guides
Fitting in Norwich and nearby
Surveys in Norwich (NR2) are booked around installer availability, as they are in nearby Wymondham (9 miles) and North Walsham (14 miles).
Norfolk is known for flint and brick cottages, Norwich's medieval lanes and listed buildings, and seaside towns with seasonal properties.
Common openings for bi-folding security gates:
- Wide internal openings
- Garden room and orangery openings
- Office receptions and showrooms
- Restaurant and bar frontages
Getting the right bi-fold gate for your building
Floor guide
A bottom guide keeps the leaves aligned. Recessed guides keep the floor flush.
Look
Bi-folds read as a screen rather than a lattice, which suits modern interiors.
What the rules say 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.
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.
