What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Christchurch?

New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.

How does it work in Christchurch?

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 Christchurch

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 Christchurch: questions

How much is a visit in Christchurch?

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 Christchurch as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Christchurch visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Christchurch and across BH23, BH6 and BH7, 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 get a price for Christchurch 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.

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.

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.
