What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Newtownards?

The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.

How does it work in Newtownards?

The engineer replaces the damaged laths and refits and tests the curtain. Any other parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Damaged lath repairs in Newtownards: questions

How much is a visit in Newtownards?

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 Newtownards as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

Do you charge more for Newtownards than other towns in County Down?

No. Guide prices are the same for Newtownards as for anywhere else we cover in County Down. 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 I get a price for Newtownards 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.

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.

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.
