Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.
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.

Rules that apply in Purley

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.

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 Purley: questions

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

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 Purley?

Yes. Purley is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including CR8, CR2 and CR5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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

Can you remove my old garage door in Purley?

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

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.
