What should I know about damaged lath repairs in North Shields?

On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
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.

Rules that apply in North Shields

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 North Shields: questions

Do you cover North Shields?

Yes. North Shields is part of the area we cover in Tyne and Wear, including NE30, NE29 and NE33. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in North Shields?

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 North Shields visit date is confirmed in writing.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

Do you charge more for North Shields than other towns in Tyne and Wear?

No. Guide prices are the same for North Shields as for anywhere else we cover in Tyne and Wear. 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.

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.

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.
