Fitting in Beverley and nearby
Beverley is about 8 miles from Hull, the main centre for East Riding of Yorkshire. We can survey and fit across the HU17 district and in nearby places such as Hull and Driffield.
The East Riding includes Hull's dense Victorian terraces and docklands, the Georgian centre of Beverley, and coastal towns such as Bridlington.
Where French door grilles are most often used:
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Ground-floor flats
- Period homes with timber French doors
- French doors to gardens
What to think about first
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Consents and safety: 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.
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 Beverley: questions
Do you cover Hull as well as Beverley?
Yes. As well as Beverley, we can arrange surveys in nearby Hull, Driffield and Bridlington, and elsewhere in East Riding of Yorkshire.
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.
Can French door grilles open one side only?
Yes. Each leaf runs independently, so you can open one side and leave the other closed.
