Lambton: homes, garages and weather
Lambton is named after the Lambton Colliery, which began operating early in 1863 and closed in 1937, the Lambton Heritage Walk brochure says. About 30 homes around Roberts Circuit and McCubbin Way were damaged when old colliery workings partly collapsed in 2012 and 2014. On 4 January 2026, a severe thunderstorm brought significant wind damage to Lambton. We can refer you to a garage door business nearby.

If a storm has bent a panel or pushed your door out of its tracks, leave it where it is and switch the opener off. Look for anything still resting against the door, such as branches, and clear it only if that’s safe. Roller doors have faults of their own, which our roller door page explains. About a third of Lambton’s occupied homes (35.2%) were rented at the 2021 Census. Tenants should report a broken door to the property manager first.
On the phone, we’ll ask three things: what type of door it is, what you noticed when it failed, and whether a vehicle is stuck in the garage. A rough idea of the door’s age helps as well. Then, if you agree, a local garage door business gets your details and can contact you.
