Damaged lath repairs in Finchley: questions

How much is a visit in Finchley?

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 Finchley as elsewhere we cover.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Finchley?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Finchley visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Finchley 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.

Do you cover Finchley?

Yes. Finchley is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including N3, N12 and N2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
