Things to decide before you order

Escape

Choose a gate that opens quickly from inside without hunting for a key.

Permission

In a block of flats, the building owner or managing agent usually needs to agree, and the gate must not compromise the building's fire strategy.

Rules that apply in 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.

External grilles and planning

External grilles and shutters on shops and other commercial buildings normally need planning permission from the local council because they change the building's appearance. Many councils' shopfront guides favour internal, open-lattice grilles, particularly in conservation areas.

Front door security gates in Derbyshire: questions

Which towns in Derbyshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Derbyshire, including Derby, Chesterfield, Long Eaton, Ilkeston and Swadlincote, and in other towns across the area.

Does a front door gate need planning permission?

Gates in front of a house's front door can need planning permission, especially on listed buildings or in conservation areas. Gates behind the door usually do not.

Is a gate better than a stronger door?

They do different jobs. A certified door resists attack on its own; a gate adds a second barrier. Many people choose both.

Will I still get post?

We can leave a letterbox clearance in the gate or suggest a wall-mounted post box.
