What should I know about roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Ely?

Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.

Rules that apply in Ely

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), sits in a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, or is on an estate where planning conditions or covenants control garage doors.

Structural work

Widening the opening, removing a central pier or fitting a new lintel is structural work that needs Building Regulations approval from building control before it starts.

Roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Ely: questions

Do you charge more for Ely than other towns in Cambridgeshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Ely as for anywhere else we cover in Cambridgeshire. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Is the survey in Ely really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Do you cover Ely?

Yes. Ely is part of the area we cover in Cambridgeshire, including CB7 and CB6. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

How long does it take to fit a roller garage door in Ely?

Most single domestic roller doors are fitted in a day once the door has been made, including removing the old door. Wider doors, conversions that need building work and jobs where power has to be run can take longer; the quote says what to expect.

How do I clean vision laths?

Clean them gently, following the manufacturer's care guidance that comes with the door, and avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers that could scratch the see-through sections. Do it with the door closed and, on an electric door, make sure no one operates it while you're cleaning. Keep the guide rails clear of debris at the same time.

Can vision laths be added to my existing roller door?

Vision and vent laths are built into the curtain when a new door is made, which is why we offer them as an extra on new doors. Changing laths in an existing curtain depends on finding compatible laths for that door, so if you want daylight or ventilation in your current garage, it's usually simplest to plan them into a replacement door.
