What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Tyldesley?

New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.

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 Tyldesley: questions

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Tyldesley?

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 Tyldesley. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you cover Tyldesley?

Yes. Tyldesley is part of the area we cover in Greater Manchester, including M29, M46 and M38. 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 Tyldesley than other towns in Greater Manchester?

No. Guide prices are the same for Tyldesley 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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Tyldesley and across M29, M46 and M38, 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.

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.

Can you replace just one lath on a roller garage door?

Yes, if the rest of the curtain is sound and a matching lath is available. The damaged lath is slid out, a new one with the same profile is fitted, and the curtain is refitted and run through its guides. Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm what's needed before booking.
