How much do French door grilles cost in Poole?
Most French door grilles in Poole fall within £954 to £2,034 including VAT (£795 to £1,695 plus VAT) per pair of doors for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
French door grilles are usually a pair of retractable grilles that fold to each side of the doors and meet in the centre, where they lock together. They protect the glazing and the meeting stiles, which are the weak point of many French doors.
Options for French door grilles in Poole
- Low-profile floor track
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Each side opens independently

Fitting in Poole and nearby
Poole is about 5 miles from Bournemouth, the main centre for Dorset. We can survey and fit across the BH15 district and in nearby places such as Bournemouth and Christchurch.
Dorset combines large suburban areas around Bournemouth and Poole with stone-built market towns and conservation-area high streets such as Dorchester and Bridport.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- French doors to gardens
- Period homes with timber French doors
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
Things to decide before you order
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
One side or both
A centre-meeting pair lets you open one side for everyday use.
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.
Bedroom and escape windows
Approved Document B (fire safety) expects many habitable rooms in houses, especially first-floor rooms, to have an emergency escape window with an unobstructed opening of at least 0.33 m², at least 450 mm high and 450 mm wide, with the bottom of the opening no more than 1,100 mm above the floor. We only fit grilles over escape windows with a release that opens from inside without a key.

French door grilles in Poole: questions
Can you survey in Poole and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and elsewhere in Dorset are booked around installer availability.
My French doors open inwards. Can I still have a grille?
Yes. The grille is set back from the doors so they can swing open, or fitted outside if there is no room inside.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
