Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.

Damaged lath repairs in Ashton-under-Lyne: questions

Do you charge more for Ashton-under-Lyne than other towns in Greater Manchester?

No. Guide prices are the same for Ashton-under-Lyne as for anywhere else we cover in Greater Manchester. 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 I message you a photo of my garage in Ashton-under-Lyne?

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 Ashton-under-Lyne. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you cover Ashton-under-Lyne?

Yes. Ashton-under-Lyne is part of the area we cover in Greater Manchester, including OL7, OL6 and OL8. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.
