What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Accrington?
- The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
- Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
- On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
- New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.

Damaged lath repairs in Accrington: questions
Do you cover Accrington?
Yes. Accrington is part of the area we cover in Lancashire, including BB5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Accrington?
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 Accrington. 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 Accrington?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Accrington and across BB5, 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.
