What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Dalkeith?

Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.

Damaged lath repairs in Dalkeith: questions

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 charge more for Dalkeith than other towns in Edinburgh and the Lothians?

No. Guide prices are the same for Dalkeith as for anywhere else we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians. 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.

How much is a visit in Dalkeith?

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 Dalkeith as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Dalkeith. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

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.

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.
