Damaged lath repairs in Cowes: 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.
How much is a visit in Cowes?
Prices for damaged lath repairs start from £149 inc VAT, agreed before anyone comes out, and any extra parts are quoted before they are fitted. Because of travel, visits to Cowes are arranged individually and any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the visit is booked.
Do you cover Cowes?
Yes. Cowes is part of the area we cover on the Isle of Wight, including PO31 and PO32. 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 Cowes?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Cowes and across PO31 and PO32, 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.
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.
