What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Greenford?

Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.

How does it work in Greenford?

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 Greenford

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 Greenford: questions

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

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 Greenford visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Greenford and across UB6, UB1 and UB5, 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 Greenford?

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

How much is a visit in Greenford?

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 Greenford as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
