What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Harpenden?

If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
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.

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 Harpenden: questions

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

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

Do you cover Harpenden?

Yes. Harpenden is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including AL5 and AL3. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Harpenden and across AL5 and AL3, 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.

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

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 Harpenden visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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.
