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

Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
Keep anything that must stay completely dry away from vent laths, as some moisture may get in during wet, windy weather.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.

Rules that apply in Lewisham

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 Lewisham: questions

Can you remove my old garage door in Lewisham?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Lewisham 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 you charge more for Lewisham than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Lewisham as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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.

Do you cover Lewisham?

Yes. Lewisham is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SE13, SE4 and SE10. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Is an electric roller door worth it for a garage in Lewisham?

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 Lewisham garage so you can compare.

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.

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.
