What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Portishead?

If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.

How does it work in Portishead?

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

Rules that apply in Portishead

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 Portishead: 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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Portishead and across BS20, 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 Portishead?

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

Do you charge more for Portishead than other towns in Somerset?

No. Guide prices are the same for Portishead as for anywhere else we cover in Somerset. 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.

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.
