What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Thatcham?

Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.

How does it work in Thatcham?

Damaged lath repairs in Thatcham: questions

How much is a visit in Thatcham?

Prices for damaged lath repairs start from £149 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Thatcham as elsewhere we cover.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Thatcham?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Thatcham and across RG19, RG18 and RG14, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.

Do you charge more for Thatcham than other towns in Berkshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Thatcham as for anywhere else we cover in Berkshire. 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.

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

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

Will the new laths match my door's colour?

We match the lath type, size and colour as closely as possible, but new laths can look slightly different from laths that have weathered over the years. If we expect a noticeable difference, we'll tell you before any laths are ordered, so you can decide whether a repair or a new door suits you better.

Can you replace just one lath on a roller garage door?

Yes, if the rest of the curtain is sound and a matching lath is available. The damaged lath is slid out, a new one with the same profile is fitted, and the curtain is refitted and run through its guides. Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm what's needed before booking.
