What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Tyne and Wear?

Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
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.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Questions about damaged lath repairs in Tyne and Wear

Which towns do you cover in Tyne and Wear?

We cover Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields and Gateshead. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Tyne and Wear online.

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Are guide prices the same across Tyne and Wear?

Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in Tyne and Wear. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.

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.
