How much do French door grilles cost in Seaham?
As a guide, French door grilles in Seaham cost £954 to £2,034 including VAT (£795 to £1,695 plus VAT) per pair of doors, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
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.
What you can specify
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Each side opens independently
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
- Set back to clear inward-opening doors
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom

County Durham's stock is dominated by brick terraces in former colliery towns, alongside the listed historic core of Durham city and Teesside's commercial centres.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Ground-floor flats
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Period homes with timber French doors
Things to decide before you order
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
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.
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.

French door grilles in Seaham: questions
Can you survey in Seaham and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Seaham, Houghton-le-Spring, Sunderland and elsewhere in Durham 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.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
