Rules that apply in Westhoughton

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 Westhoughton: questions

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.

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

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 Westhoughton visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Westhoughton 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.

How much is a visit in Westhoughton?

Prices for damaged lath repairs start from £149 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Westhoughton as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
