What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Belfast?

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.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.

How does it work in Belfast?

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.

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and CE marking, which is the marking that applies to machinery placed on the market in Northern Ireland.

Structural work

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need building control approval from your council under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012 before work starts.

Damaged lath repairs in Belfast: questions

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

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

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Belfast and across BT1, BT2 and BT7, 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 cover Belfast?

Yes. Belfast is part of the area we cover in County Antrim, including BT1, BT2 and BT7. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Belfast than other towns in County Antrim?

No. Guide prices are the same for Belfast as for anywhere else we cover in County Antrim. 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.

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.

Do you replace laths on insulated roller doors?

Yes. We replace damaged laths on single-skin and insulated roller garage doors of any make, provided matching laths are available. Insulated laths are double-skinned aluminium filled with foam, and they come in different heights, so the new laths are matched to your curtain's size and profile.
