What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Guildford?

If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
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.

How does it work in Guildford?

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 Guildford

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 Guildford: questions

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

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

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Guildford and across GU1, GU2 and GU4, 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.

Do you charge more for Guildford than other towns in Surrey?

No. Guide prices are the same for Guildford as for anywhere else we cover in Surrey. 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 Guildford 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.

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.

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.
