What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Deal?

Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.

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 Deal: questions

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

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 Deal visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

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

How much is a visit in Deal?

Prices for damaged lath repairs start from £149 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Deal as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Deal?

Yes. Deal is part of the area we cover in Kent, including CT14. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

My car hit the garage door. Can I still use it?

If the curtain is out of its guides, running at an angle or catching as it moves, stop using it. Switch an electric door off at the isolator, keep people and cars clear of a part-open door, and don't force the curtain. Take photos and request a visit so the engineer can check the laths, guides and motor.

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.
