What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Orpington?

New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.

Damaged lath repairs in Orpington: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Orpington and across BR6, BR5 and BR7, 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 Orpington?

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

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Orpington 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.

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 you replace just one lath on a roller garage door?

Yes, if the rest of the curtain is sound and a matching lath is available. The damaged lath is slid out, a new one with the same profile is fitted, and the curtain is refitted and run through its guides. Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm what's needed before booking.

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.
