What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Cheshunt?

Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.

How does it work in Cheshunt?

The engineer replaces the damaged laths and refits and tests the curtain. Any other parts are quoted before they're fitted.

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 Cheshunt: 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.

Do you charge more for Cheshunt than other towns in Hertfordshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Cheshunt as for anywhere else we cover in Hertfordshire. 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 Cheshunt?

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 Cheshunt as elsewhere we cover.

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

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

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.

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.
