What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Thornton-Cleveleys?

New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.

How does it work in Thornton-Cleveleys?

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

Damaged lath repairs in Thornton-Cleveleys: questions

Do you cover Thornton-Cleveleys?

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Thornton-Cleveleys?

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 Thornton-Cleveleys. 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 Thornton-Cleveleys?

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 Thornton-Cleveleys visit date is confirmed in writing.

How much is a visit in Thornton-Cleveleys?

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 Thornton-Cleveleys as elsewhere we cover.

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.

Do you replace laths on insulated roller doors?

Yes. We replace damaged laths on single-skin and insulated roller garage doors of any make, provided matching laths are available. Insulated laths are double-skinned aluminium filled with foam, and they come in different heights, so the new laths are matched to your curtain's size and profile.
