How much should I budget for patio and bifold door grilles in Felixstowe?
As a guide, patio and bifold door grilles in Felixstowe 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.

- Locks operable from inside
- Matched to aluminium, uPVC or timber frames
- Stacks positioned to clear handles and curtains
- Optional extra locking points for wide spans
- White, black, anthracite or RAL

What to think about first
Track

Colour
Anthracite grilles sit quietly against grey aluminium frames.
Consents and safety: England
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.
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.
