What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Letchworth Garden City?

New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.

Damaged lath repairs in Letchworth Garden City: questions

Can I get a price for Letchworth Garden City 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Letchworth Garden City?

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

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Letchworth Garden City?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Letchworth Garden City and across SG6, SG5 and SG15, 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.

Do you cover Letchworth Garden City?

Yes. Letchworth Garden City is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including SG6, SG5 and SG15. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
