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.

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.

Damaged lath repairs in Gerrards Cross: questions

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Gerrards Cross?

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

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Gerrards Cross?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Gerrards Cross visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Gerrards Cross?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Gerrards Cross and across SL9 and UB9, 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.

How much is a visit in Gerrards Cross?

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 Gerrards Cross as elsewhere we cover.

My car hit the garage door. Can I still use it?

If the curtain is out of its guides, running at an angle or catching as it moves, stop using it. Switch an electric door off at the isolator, keep people and cars clear of a part-open door, and don't force the curtain. Take photos and request a visit so the engineer can check the laths, guides and motor.

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.
