What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Strood?

Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
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.

Rules that apply in Strood

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 Strood: questions

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Strood?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Strood and across ME2, ME1 and ME4, 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.

Can I get a price for Strood 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.

Do you charge more for Strood than other towns in Kent?

No. Guide prices are the same for Strood as for anywhere else we cover in Kent. 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 Strood?

Yes. Strood is part of the area we cover in Kent, including ME2, ME1 and ME4. 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.

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.
