As a guide, French door grilles in Croydon 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.

Fitting in Croydon and nearby
Croydon is about 9 miles from Central London, the main centre for Greater London. We can survey and fit across the CR0 district and in nearby places such as South Croydon and Wallington.
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.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Period homes with timber French doors
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- French doors to gardens
Things to decide before you order
One side or both
A centre-meeting pair lets you open one side for everyday use.
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Rules that apply in England
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.
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.

French door grilles in Croydon: questions
Which areas near Croydon do you cover?
We can arrange work in Croydon and in nearby South Croydon (1 mile), Wallington (3 miles) and Carshalton (3 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
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.
Will the grille match my doors?
We powder-coat grilles in white, black, anthracite or a RAL colour close to your frames.
