What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Swinton?

New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.

Damaged lath repairs in Swinton: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Swinton and across M27, M30 and M28, 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 Swinton 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 Swinton?

Yes. Swinton is part of the area we cover in Greater Manchester, including M27, M30 and M28. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Swinton than other towns in Greater Manchester?

No. Guide prices are the same for Swinton 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 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.

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.
