What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Croydon?

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.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.

How does it work in Croydon?

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.

Rules that apply in Croydon

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 Croydon: questions

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.

Can I get a price for Croydon 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 repair roller doors you did not fit in Croydon?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Croydon and across CR0, CR7 and CR2, 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.

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

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

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.

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.
