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

Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.
Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.
Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.

How does it work in Brighton?

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 Brighton

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 Brighton: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Brighton?

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

Do I need permission for a new roller garage door in Brighton?

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in England, and widening the opening needs building control approval. 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 Brighton?

Yes. Brighton is part of the area we cover in East Sussex, including BN1, BN3 and BN2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Brighton than other towns in East Sussex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Brighton as for anywhere else we cover in East Sussex. 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.

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 I have vision laths on an electric roller door?

Yes. Vision and vent laths are part of the curtain, so they coil onto the barrel and run in the guides like the rest of the laths, whether the door is manual or electric. An electric door with vision laths is commissioned in the usual way, with the limits set and the safety edge or photocells tested.
