What is the price of French door grilles in Manchester?
Our guide range for French door grilles in Manchester is £954 to £2,034 including VAT (£795 to £1,695 plus VAT) per pair of doors, including fitting. The survey is free for new installations and your fixed price follows in writing.
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
- Low-profile floor track
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
Fitting in Manchester and nearby
We can arrange French door grilles across Manchester, the main centre for Greater Manchester, and in nearby towns including Salford, Failsworth and Droylsden.
Greater Manchester is dominated by red-brick terraces and mill-town centres, with converted mills, modern city-centre flats and large retail parks.
This type of grille suits:
- Period homes with timber French doors
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- French doors to gardens
- Dining rooms and kitchens
Questions we will ask at the survey
Upper floors
A grille behind Juliet balcony doors needs to keep any required escape route usable.
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.
