Damaged lath repairs in Staines-upon-Thames: questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Staines-upon-Thames?

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 Staines-upon-Thames visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you cover Staines-upon-Thames?

Yes. Staines-upon-Thames is part of the area we cover in Surrey, including TW18, TW19 and TW20. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Staines-upon-Thames?

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 Staines-upon-Thames. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you charge more for Staines-upon-Thames than other towns in Surrey?

No. Guide prices are the same for Staines-upon-Thames 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 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.
