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

Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.
Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.
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 Birkenhead

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

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.

Roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Birkenhead: questions

Can I get a price for Birkenhead 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 charge more for Birkenhead than other towns in Merseyside?

No. Guide prices are the same for Birkenhead as for anywhere else we cover in Merseyside. 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.

Is the survey in Birkenhead 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.

Can you remove my old garage door in Birkenhead?

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