What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Blackburn?

If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.

Rules that apply in Blackburn

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 Blackburn: questions

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

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

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

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 Blackburn visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you charge more for Blackburn than other towns in Lancashire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Blackburn as for anywhere else we cover in Lancashire. 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.

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.

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.

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.
