How much should I budget for patio and bifold door grilles in Chelsea?
Most patio and bifold door grilles in Chelsea fall within £1,074 to £2,994 including VAT (£895 to £2,495 plus VAT) per set of doors for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
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
- Optional extra locking points for wide spans
- Low-profile or recessed floor tracks
- Matched to aluminium, uPVC or timber frames
- Works with sliding, lift-and-slide and bifold doors
- Locks operable from inside

What to think about first
Colour
Anthracite grilles sit quietly against grey aluminium frames.
Track
A low-profile track keeps the threshold easy to walk over. Recessed tracks need a little floor work.
Consents and safety: 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.
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.

Patio and bifold door grilles in Chelsea: questions
Do you cover Battersea as well as Chelsea?
Yes. As well as Chelsea, we can arrange surveys in nearby Battersea, Fulham and Pimlico, and elsewhere in Greater London.
How long does fitting take?
A typical set of patio doors takes half a day once the grille is made.
Do patio grilles block the view?
When open, only a slim stack at each side. When closed, the lattice is open enough to see the garden clearly.
Will a grille get in the way of my bifold doors?
No. We plan the stack so the bifold leaves and the grille fold to positions that do not clash.
