What to think about first

Mesh infill

Bars alone may let someone reach through to a handle or lock. Mesh infill closes that gap.

Finish

External gates last longest when galvanised before powder coating.

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.

Hinged security gates in Cheshire: questions

Which towns in Cheshire do you cover?

We can arrange work anywhere in Cheshire, including Warrington, Chester, Crewe, Ellesmere Port and Widnes, and in other towns across the area.

Can hinged gates be fitted outside?

Yes. They are often fitted outside commercial back doors, galvanised and powder-coated for weather resistance.

Is a hinged gate stronger than a retractable grille?

A well-made hinged gate is very strong because it has a rigid frame and solid bars. Retractable grilles trade a little rigidity for the ability to fold away.

How long do hinged gates take to make?

Each gate is made to measure after the survey. We confirm the lead time with your quote.
