What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Chester?

Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.

How does it work in Chester?

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 Chester

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 Chester: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Chester and across CH1 and CH2, 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.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Chester?

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 Chester visit date is confirmed in writing.

How much is a visit in Chester?

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 Chester as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Chester than other towns in Cheshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Chester as for anywhere else we cover in Cheshire. 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 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.

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.
