What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Barking?

If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.

Damaged lath repairs in Barking: questions

Do you cover Barking?

Yes. Barking is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including IG11, IG1 and IG3. 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 Barking than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Barking as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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.

How much is a visit in Barking?

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 Barking as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
