What is the price of French door grilles in Doncaster?
Our guide range for French door grilles in Doncaster 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.
What you can specify
- Low-profile floor track
- Matches white, black or wood-effect frames
- Optional shoot bolts top and bottom
- Locks keyed alike with other grilles in the house
- Pair of leaves meeting at a central lock
- Small stacks at each side of the doors
Fitting in Doncaster and nearby
We arrange surveys and fitting in Doncaster and across the DN1 postcode district, as well as in nearby Rotherham (11 miles) and Pontefract (14 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
South Yorkshire is dominated by brick and stone terraces in Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley, alongside large city-centre retail and commercial areas.
This type of grille suits:
- French doors to gardens
- Period homes with timber French doors
- Juliet balconies on upper floors (with escape in mind)
- 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.
Curtains and blinds
Stack positions are planned around curtain tracks and returns.
Planning and safety 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.

French door grilles in Doncaster: questions
Can you survey in Doncaster and nearby towns?
Yes. Surveys in Doncaster, Rotherham, Pontefract and elsewhere in South Yorkshire are booked around 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.
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.
