How much should I budget for patio and bifold door grilles in Amersham?
As a guide, patio and bifold door grilles in Amersham cost £1,074 to £2,994 including VAT (£895 to £2,495 plus VAT) per set of doors, supplied and fitted. The exact figure depends on size, type, finish and locking, and is confirmed in writing after the free survey.
A patio door grille is a wide retractable grille fitted inside sliding patio or bifold doors. Closed, it protects a large glazed opening that is often out of sight at the back of the house; open, it folds into slim stacks so the view and access are unaffected.
What you can specify
- Stacks positioned to clear handles and curtains
- Works with sliding, lift-and-slide and bifold doors
- Locks operable from inside
- Matched to aluminium, uPVC or timber frames
- Low-profile or recessed floor tracks
- Optional extra locking points for wide spans

What to think about first
Usage
If you open the doors every day, ask for a lighter-action grille with smooth runners.
Track
A low-profile track keeps the threshold easy to walk over. Recessed tracks need a little floor work.
Consents and safety: 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.

Which areas near Amersham do you cover?
We can arrange work in Amersham and in nearby Chesham (2 miles), Chalfont St Peter (5 miles) and Gerrards Cross (6 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.
Can I walk over the grille track?
Yes. Low-profile tracks are a few millimetres high, and recessed tracks sit flush with the floor.

A typical set of patio doors takes half a day once the grille is made.
Can the grille be fitted outside the patio doors?
It can, but inside is usual because the grille is protected and the outside of the house stays the same.
