Fitting in Stamford and nearby
Stamford is about 40 miles from Lincoln, the main centre for Lincolnshire. We can survey and fit across the PE9 district and in nearby places such as Oakham and Uppingham.
Lincolnshire combines the historic hilltop core of Lincoln with Grimsby and Scunthorpe's industrial terraces and many small market and coastal towns.
Where French door grilles are most often used:
- Dining rooms and kitchens
- Period homes with timber French doors
- French doors to gardens
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
What to think about first
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.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.

French door grilles in Stamford: questions
Do you cover Oakham as well as Stamford?
Yes. As well as Stamford, we can arrange surveys in nearby Oakham, Uppingham and Peterborough, and elsewhere in Lincolnshire.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually two to three hours once the grilles arrive.
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.
Do French door grilles need a floor track?
Usually a low-profile one, which keeps the grille rigid and is easy to step over.
