How much do French door grilles cost in South Croydon?
Most French door grilles in South Croydon 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
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
- Each side opens independently
- Set back to clear inward-opening doors
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
Fitting in South Croydon and nearby
Surveys in South Croydon (CR2) are booked around installer availability. We also cover nearby Croydon (1 mile), Purley (2 miles) and Wallington (3 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.
Typical places for this kind of grille include:
- Ground-floor flats
- French doors to gardens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- Dining rooms and kitchens
Things to decide before you order
Door swing
Inward-opening doors need the grille set back far enough to clear the leaves.
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
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.
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.
