New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.

Damaged lath repairs in Smethwick: questions

Do you charge more for Smethwick than other towns in the West Midlands?

No. Guide prices are the same for Smethwick as for anywhere else we cover in the West Midlands. 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 cover Smethwick?

Yes. Smethwick is part of the area we cover in the West Midlands, including B66, B67 and B21. 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 Smethwick?

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 Smethwick visit date is confirmed in writing.

How much is a visit in Smethwick?

Prices for damaged lath repairs start from £149 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Smethwick as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
