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

Think about privacy, because vision laths can let people glimpse what's inside when the garage light is on after dark.
Ask whether vision or vent laths are covered by the certificate if you're choosing a security-rated door model.
Weigh up insulation if you're choosing insulated laths, as vent laths let air through and vision laths hold less heat.
Consider the height you want the laths at, for example level with a workbench or higher up to keep the view in limited.

How does it work in Solihull?

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 Solihull

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.

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 Solihull: questions

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

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

Is the survey in Solihull 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.

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

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 Solihull as elsewhere we cover.

Can you remove my old garage door in Solihull?

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

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.
