What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Potters Bar?

Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.

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 Potters Bar: questions

Can I get a price for Potters Bar 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.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Potters Bar?

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 Potters Bar visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you cover Potters Bar?

Yes. Potters Bar is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including EN6. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.

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.
