What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Southport?

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.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.

How does it work in Southport?

We confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed. The visit is booked once matching laths are available, with the date confirmed in writing.

Rules that apply in Southport

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 Southport: questions

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Southport?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Southport and across PR8 and PR9, 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 Southport?

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 Southport as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Southport?

Yes. Southport is part of the area we cover in Merseyside, including PR8 and PR9. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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

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

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.

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.
