What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Hinckley?

The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.

How does it work in Hinckley?

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

Powered door safety

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 Hinckley: questions

Do you cover Hinckley?

Yes. Hinckley is part of the area we cover in Leicestershire, including LE10. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Hinckley than other towns in Leicestershire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Hinckley as for anywhere else we cover in Leicestershire. 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.

Can I get a price for Hinckley 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.

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

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

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.
