What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Brighton?

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.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.

Rules that apply in Brighton

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 Brighton: questions

Can I get a price for Brighton 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.

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

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 Brighton visit date is confirmed in writing.

How much is a visit in Brighton?

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 Brighton as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Brighton. 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.

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.
