How much should I budget for French door grilles in Gloucester?
As a guide, French door grilles in Gloucester 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.
Choices you can make
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Set back to clear inward-opening doors

One side or both
A centre-meeting pair lets you open one side for everyday use.
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.
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.
