What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Seaham?

Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.

How does it work in Seaham?

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 Seaham

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 Seaham: questions

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

Can I get a price for Seaham 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.

How much is a visit in Seaham?

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 Seaham as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

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.

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.
