What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Stockport?
- The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
- If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
- New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
- Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.

Damaged lath repairs in Stockport: questions
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Stockport?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Stockport and across SK1, SK3 and SK4, 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.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Stockport?
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 Stockport visit date is confirmed in writing.
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 charge more for Stockport than other towns in Greater Manchester?
No. Guide prices are the same for Stockport 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.
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.
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.
