What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Whitstable?

Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.

How does it work in Whitstable?

We confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed. The visit is booked once matching laths are available, with the date confirmed in writing.

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 Whitstable: questions

Can I get a price for Whitstable 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 repair roller doors you did not fit in Whitstable?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Whitstable and across CT5, 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.

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

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 Whitstable visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you cover Whitstable?

Yes. Whitstable is part of the area we cover in Kent, including CT5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
