What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Ely?

Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.

Rules that apply in Ely

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 Ely: questions

How much is a visit in Ely?

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 Ely as elsewhere we cover.

Can I get a price for Ely without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Ely and across CB7 and CB6, 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 Ely than other towns in Cambridgeshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Ely as for anywhere else we cover in Cambridgeshire. 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.

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.
