What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Walthamstow?

Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.

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 Walthamstow: questions

How much is a visit in Walthamstow?

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 Walthamstow as elsewhere we cover.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Walthamstow 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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Walthamstow and across E17, E10 and E18, 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.

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.

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.
