What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Wednesbury?

Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.

How does it work in Wednesbury?

We confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed. The visit is booked once matching laths are available, with the date confirmed in writing.

Rules that apply in Wednesbury

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 Wednesbury: questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Wednesbury?

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 Wednesbury visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Wednesbury 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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Wednesbury and across WS10, WS2 and WS1, 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.

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.

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.

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.
