Damaged lath repairs in Swadlincote: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Swadlincote and across DE11 and DE15, 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.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Swadlincote?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Swadlincote visit date is confirmed in writing.

How much is a visit in Swadlincote?

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 Swadlincote as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

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.

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.
