What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Brixton?

New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
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.

How does it work in Brixton?

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.

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 Brixton: questions

Do you charge more for Brixton than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Brixton 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 Brixton?

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 Brixton as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Brixton?

Yes. Brixton is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SW2, SW9 and SW8. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
