What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Newtown?

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.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.

How does it work in Newtown?

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 Newtown

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 in Wales before it starts.

Damaged lath repairs in Newtown: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Newtown and across SY16, 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.

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

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

Can I get a price for Newtown 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 charge more for Newtown than other towns in Powys?

No. Guide prices are the same for Newtown as for anywhere else we cover in Powys. 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.

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.

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.
