What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Dumfries?

Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
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.

Structural alterations, such as widening the opening or fitting a new lintel, need a building warrant from the local authority before work starts.

Damaged lath repairs in Dumfries: questions

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Dumfries?

Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Dumfries. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

How much is a visit in Dumfries?

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 Dumfries as elsewhere we cover.

Do you cover Dumfries?

Yes. Dumfries is part of the area we cover in Dumfries and Galloway, including DG1 and DG2. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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 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.

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.
