What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Braintree?

If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.

How does it work in Braintree?

The engineer replaces the damaged laths and refits and tests the curtain. Any other parts are quoted before they're fitted.

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 Braintree: questions

Can I get a price for Braintree 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.

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

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

Do you cover Braintree?

Yes. Braintree is part of the area we cover in Essex, including CM7 and CM77. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Braintree than other towns in Essex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Braintree as for anywhere else we cover in Essex. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

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.

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.
