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

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.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.

Rules that apply in Swansea

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in Wales some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Planning

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales. Check first if your home is listed (listed building consent covers works that affect its character), is 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 Swansea: questions

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

Replacing a garage door is not usually development that needs planning permission in Wales, 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.

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

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

Can you remove my old garage door in Swansea?

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

What do you check at a survey in SA1?

At a survey in SA1 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 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.

Will people be able to see into my garage through vision laths?

Possibly, especially at night when the garage light is on. If privacy matters, think about the height of the laths and what's stored nearby. Placing them higher in the curtain, or having fewer of them, can help. We'll talk through the position at survey so you can balance daylight against privacy for your garage.
