What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Northolt?

On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
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.

How does it work in Northolt?

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.

Damaged lath repairs in Northolt: questions

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

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

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

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

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

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 Northolt visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Northolt 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.

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.

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.
