Damaged lath repairs in Newmarket

Not every damaged curtain in Newmarket is worth repairing. If many laths are affected or matching laths aren't available, we'll tell you plainly, and homes in Suffolk can compare a lath repair with the price of a new roller door.

What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Newmarket?

  • Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
  • Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
  • If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
  • The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.

How does it work in Newmarket?

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 Newmarket

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 Newmarket: questions

Do you charge more for Newmarket than other towns in Suffolk?

No. Guide prices are the same for Newmarket as for anywhere else we cover in Suffolk. 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.

Can I get a price for Newmarket 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.

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

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 Newmarket visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Newmarket and across CB8, 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.

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.

Do you replace laths on insulated roller doors?

Yes. We replace damaged laths on single-skin and insulated roller garage doors of any make, provided matching laths are available. Insulated laths are double-skinned aluminium filled with foam, and they come in different heights, so the new laths are matched to your curtain's size and profile.
