What is the price of French door grilles in Canary Wharf?
Most French door grilles in Canary Wharf 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.
What goes into a French door grille
- Low-profile floor track
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Set back to clear inward-opening doors
Fitting in Canary Wharf and nearby
Surveys in Canary Wharf (E14) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Bow (1 mile), Canning Town (2 miles) and Greenwich (2 miles).
London's buildings range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks to post-war estates, with long high streets of ground-floor shops below flats.
This type of grille suits:
- Ground-floor flats
- French doors to gardens
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
Questions we will ask at the survey
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
Planning and safety 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.
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 Canary Wharf: questions
Do you cover Bow as well as Canary Wharf?
Yes. As well as Canary Wharf, we can arrange surveys in nearby Bow, Canning Town and Greenwich, and elsewhere in Greater London.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
Will the grille match my doors?
We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.
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.
