What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Newton Aycliffe?

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.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.

How does it work in Newton Aycliffe?

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

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.

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.
