Fitting in Boston and nearby

Boston is about 27 miles from Lincoln, the main centre for Lincolnshire. We can survey and fit across the PE21 district and in nearby places such as Spalding and Sleaford.

Lincolnshire combines the historic hilltop core of Lincoln with Grimsby and Scunthorpe's industrial terraces and many small market and coastal towns.

Typical places for this kind of grille include:

Flat entrance doors on landings and walkways
Empty homes between occupants
Houses with doors out of sight of the street
Ground-floor flats

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.

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.

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.

Front door security gates in Boston: questions

Do you cover Spalding as well as Boston?

Yes. As well as Boston, we can arrange surveys in nearby Spalding, Sleaford and Skegness, and elsewhere in Lincolnshire.

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.

Will I still get post?

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

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.
