What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Oakham?

New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.

Rules that apply in Oakham

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 Oakham: questions

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

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

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

Do you cover Oakham?

Yes. Oakham is part of the area we cover in Rutland, including LE15. 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 Oakham than other towns in Rutland?

No. Guide prices are the same for Oakham as for anywhere else we cover in Rutland. 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.

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.
