What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Sheffield?

Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.

Rules that apply in Sheffield

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 Sheffield: questions

Can I get a price for Sheffield 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.

Do you charge more for Sheffield than other towns in South Yorkshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Sheffield as for anywhere else we cover in South Yorkshire. 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.

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

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 Sheffield visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

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

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.

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.
