Questions we will ask at the survey

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.

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.

Grilles across exits in business premises

In workplaces and other non-domestic premises, including the common parts of blocks of flats and HMOs, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the responsible person keep escape routes and emergency exits available and easy to open while people are present. A grille across an exit should be unlocked and parked open whenever the building is occupied, and covered in the fire risk assessment.

Front door security gates in Leytonstone: questions

Can you survey in Leytonstone and nearby towns?

Yes. Surveys in Leytonstone, Walthamstow, Stratford and elsewhere in Greater London are booked around installer availability.

Can the gate be locked from outside?

Yes. Front door gates normally lock with a key from outside and a thumb-turn or key from inside.

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.

Can I fit a security gate to my flat door?

Usually, with the building owner's permission. Flat entrance doors often form part of a building's fire safety arrangements, so the gate must not obstruct escape or compromise the door.
