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

Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.
Plan vision or vent laths into your order from the start, because they're built into the curtain when the door is made.
Decide whether the garage needs daylight, airflow or both, since vision and vent laths do different jobs.
Check the agreed position of the laths in your written quote, and again on fitting day before the installer finishes.

How does it work in Abingdon?

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 Abingdon

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.

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 Abingdon: questions

How much do roller garage doors with vision and vent laths cost in Abingdon?

Our guide price for roller garage doors with vision and vent laths is from £1,040 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Abingdon as elsewhere we cover.

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

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.

What do you check at a survey in OX14?

At a survey in OX14 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.

Do you charge more for Abingdon than other towns in Oxfordshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Abingdon as for anywhere else we cover in Oxfordshire. 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 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.

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.
