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

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.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.

Rules that apply in Torquay

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

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 Torquay: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Torquay?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Torquay 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 Torquay?

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 Torquay garage so you can compare.

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

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 Torquay. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Can I get a price for Torquay without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

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.
