What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Plymouth?

Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.

Rules that apply in Plymouth

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 Plymouth: questions

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

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

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

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 Plymouth visit date is confirmed in writing.

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 Plymouth 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.

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.

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.
