What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Woolwich?

On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.

How does it work in Woolwich?

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

Damaged lath repairs in Woolwich: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Woolwich and across SE18, SE7 and SE28, 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 get a price for Woolwich 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 cover Woolwich?

Yes. Woolwich is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SE18, SE7 and SE28. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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 Woolwich visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.
