What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Hornchurch?

If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.

How does it work in Hornchurch?

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

Damaged lath repairs in Hornchurch: questions

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

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

How much is a visit in Hornchurch?

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 Hornchurch as elsewhere we cover.

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.

Do you cover Hornchurch?

Yes. Hornchurch is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including RM12, RM11 and RM2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.
