What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Edinburgh?

On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.

How does it work in Edinburgh?

The engineer replaces the damaged laths and refits and tests the curtain. Any other parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Covering Edinburgh and nearby

Across Edinburgh's EH postcode districts we survey, supply and fit roller garage doors, and repair existing ones, to the same process.

We also cover Musselburgh (6 miles), Dalkeith (6 miles) and Penicuik (8 miles).

Rules that apply in Edinburgh

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

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 Edinburgh: questions

Do you cover Edinburgh?

Yes. Edinburgh is part of the area we cover in Edinburgh and the Lothians, including EH2, EH3 and EH1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Can I get a price for Edinburgh 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.

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

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 Edinburgh visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

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.
