What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Whitehaven?

Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
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.

Rules that apply in Whitehaven

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 Whitehaven: questions

Do you charge more for Whitehaven than other towns in Cumbria?

No. Guide prices are the same for Whitehaven as for anywhere else we cover in Cumbria. 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.

How much is a visit in Whitehaven?

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 Whitehaven as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Whitehaven and across CA28 and CA24, 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.

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.

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.
