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

Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.
Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.
Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.

How does it work in Hove?

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 Hove

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.

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 Hove: questions

Can I get a price for Hove 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.

Do you cover Hove?

Yes. Hove is part of the area we cover in East Sussex, including BN3, BN1 and BN41. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can you remove my old garage door in Hove?

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

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.

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.

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.
