What should I know about roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Magherafelt?
- Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
- Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
- Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.
- Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.

Rules that apply in Magherafelt
Planning
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Northern Ireland. Listed building consent applies to listed buildings, and conservation-area controls, planning conditions or covenants can restrict changes to how a garage looks, so check before ordering.
Electrics
An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Part P does not apply in Northern Ireland, but electrical work must still meet BS 7671 and be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Magherafelt: questions
Can you remove my old garage door in Magherafelt?
Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Magherafelt 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.
Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Magherafelt?
That depends on how often you use the garage. An electric door opens from the car with a remote and has safety devices fitted, while a manual door costs less and suits occasional use. We price both for your Magherafelt garage so you can compare.
Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Magherafelt?
Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Northern Ireland, and widening the opening needs building control approval from your council. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or on an estate with covenants or planning conditions, check before ordering.
Do you cover Magherafelt?
Yes. Magherafelt is part of the area we cover in County Londonderry, including BT45. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
Do vent laths let rain or insects into the garage?
Vent laths have openings by design, so some air movement comes with them, and in very wet, windy weather a little moisture may get in. If you store things that must stay completely dry, keep them away from the door. Think about where the vent laths sit in the curtain, and discuss it at the survey before you decide.
