Damaged lath repairs in Wellington

A knock from a car can damage the laths, guides and bottom rail of a roller door. For homes in Wellington and elsewhere in Shropshire, the engineer checks all three, replaces the damaged laths and runs the curtain to check it travels smoothly.

What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Wellington?

The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.

How does it work in Wellington?

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 Wellington

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 Wellington: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Wellington and across TF1, TF5 and TF6, 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 Wellington?

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

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Wellington?

If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Wellington visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Wellington 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.

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.

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.
