What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Bicester?

Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
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.

Rules that apply in Bicester

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 Bicester: questions

Can I get a price for Bicester 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 Bicester?

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

How much is a visit in Bicester?

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 Bicester as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Bicester?

Yes. Bicester is part of the area we cover in Oxfordshire, including OX26, OX6 and OX25. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.
