What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Westminster?

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.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.

How does it work in Westminster?

The engineer replaces the damaged laths and refits and tests the curtain. Any other parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Covering Westminster and nearby

Rules that apply in Westminster

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 Westminster: questions

Do you cover Westminster?

Yes. Westminster is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SW1P, SW1E and SW1H. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

How much is a visit in Westminster?

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 Westminster as elsewhere we cover.

Can I get a price for Westminster without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Westminster 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.

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.

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.
