Damaged lath repairs in Newport (Gwent): questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Newport (Gwent)?

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 Newport (Gwent) visit date is confirmed in writing.

How much is a visit in Newport (Gwent)?

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 Newport (Gwent) as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Newport (Gwent)?

Yes. Newport (Gwent) is part of the area we cover in Gwent, including NP20, NP19 and NP10. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can I get a price for Newport (Gwent) 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.

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.
