What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Uppingham?

On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.

Rules that apply in Uppingham

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 Uppingham: questions

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

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

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.

Do you cover Uppingham?

Yes. Uppingham 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 Uppingham than other towns in Rutland?

No. Guide prices are the same for Uppingham 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.

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.

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.
