What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Rickmansworth?

Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.

How does it work in Rickmansworth?

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

Damaged lath repairs in Rickmansworth: questions

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Rickmansworth 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.

Do you cover Rickmansworth?

Yes. Rickmansworth is part of the area we cover in Hertfordshire, including WD3 and WD18. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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 Rickmansworth. 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 Rickmansworth?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Rickmansworth and across WD3 and WD18, 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.

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.
