Damaged lath repairs in Ilkeston: questions
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Ilkeston?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Ilkeston and across DE7, 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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Ilkeston?
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 Ilkeston. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Can I get a price for Ilkeston 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 Ilkeston?
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 Ilkeston as elsewhere we cover.
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.
