What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Burton upon Trent?

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.
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 lath repairs in Burton upon Trent: questions

Do you charge more for Burton upon Trent than other towns in Staffordshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Burton upon Trent as for anywhere else we cover in Staffordshire. 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 Burton upon Trent?

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 Burton upon Trent visit date is confirmed in writing.

How much is a visit in Burton upon Trent?

Prices for damaged lath repairs start from £149 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Burton upon Trent as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Burton upon Trent?

Yes. Burton upon Trent is part of the area we cover in Staffordshire, including DE14, DE15 and DE13. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

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.
