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

Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.

How does it work in Bodmin?

When you're happy with the quote and accept it, we put the fitting date in writing, based on when an installer is available. The door, including its special laths, is only ordered after that acceptance.

Rules that apply in Bodmin

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.

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.

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

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Bodmin?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Bodmin. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Can you remove my old garage door in Bodmin?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Bodmin address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

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

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.

Do you charge more for Bodmin than other towns in Cornwall?

No. Guide prices are the same for Bodmin as for anywhere else we cover in Cornwall. 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.

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.

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.
