What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Blackheath?

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.
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 Blackheath?

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

Rules that apply in Blackheath

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 Blackheath: questions

How much is a visit in Blackheath?

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 Blackheath as elsewhere we cover.

Can I get a price for Blackheath 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 cover Blackheath?

Yes. Blackheath is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SE3, SE13 and SE10. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Blackheath and across SE3, SE13 and SE10, 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.

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.
