Damaged lath repairs in Preston

Not every damaged curtain in Preston is worth repairing. If many laths are affected or matching laths aren't available, we'll tell you plainly, and homes in Lancashire can compare a lath repair with the price of a new roller door.

What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Preston?

  • If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
  • Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
  • On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
  • Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.

How does it work in Preston?

The engineer replaces the damaged laths and refits and tests the curtain. Any other parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Rules that apply in Preston

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 Preston: questions

Can I get a price for Preston 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 Preston?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Preston and across PR1, PR2 and PR5, 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.

How much is a visit in Preston?

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 Preston as elsewhere we cover.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Preston 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 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.

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.
