What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Swindon?

Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.

How does it work in Swindon?

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 Swindon

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 Swindon: questions

Do you charge more for Swindon than other towns in Wiltshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Swindon as for anywhere else we cover in Wiltshire. 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 Swindon?

Yes. Swindon is part of the area we cover in Wiltshire, including SN1, SN2 and SN3. 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 Swindon?

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 Swindon visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Swindon and across SN1, SN2 and SN3, 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.

My car hit the garage door. Can I still use it?

If the curtain is out of its guides, running at an angle or catching as it moves, stop using it. Switch an electric door off at the isolator, keep people and cars clear of a part-open door, and don't force the curtain. Take photos and request a visit so the engineer can check the laths, guides and motor.

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.
