What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Cottesmore?

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

Damaged lath repairs in Cottesmore: questions

How much is a visit in Cottesmore?

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 Cottesmore as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Cottesmore. 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.

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.
