What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Frome?

New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
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 Frome?

The engineer replaces the damaged laths and refits and tests the curtain. Any other parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Damaged lath repairs in Frome: questions

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

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

Do you cover Frome?

Yes. Frome is part of the area we cover in Somerset, including BA11. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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

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 Frome visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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.
