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

Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.
Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.
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 Hayes

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 Hayes: questions

Is the survey in Hayes really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

Do you cover Hayes?

Yes. Hayes is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including UB3, UB4 and UB11. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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.

What do you check at a survey in UB3?

At a survey in UB3 we measure the width and height of the opening, the headroom above it for the roller box, the side room for the guide rails and the floor level. We also look at the lintel and where power can come from for an electric door.

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.

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.
