What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Milton Keynes?

On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.

How does it work in Milton Keynes?

We confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed. The visit is booked once matching laths are available, with the date confirmed in writing.

Rules that apply in Milton Keynes

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 Milton Keynes: questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Milton Keynes?

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 Milton Keynes visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Milton Keynes?

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

How much is a visit in Milton Keynes?

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 Milton Keynes as elsewhere we cover.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Milton Keynes?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Milton Keynes and across MK9, MK6 and MK14, 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.

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.

Why do the laths on my roller door slide sideways?

Laths can shift sideways within the curtain over time, which can make their ends catch on the guide rails and damage them further. Don't try to tap them back into place yourself, especially while the door is running. Request a visit, and the engineer will realign or replace the affected laths and check the guides.
