What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Dunfermline?

Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
New laths are matched to your curtain's height, profile and type, whether single-skin or insulated.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.

How does it work in Dunfermline?

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.

Damaged lath repairs in Dunfermline: questions

Do you cover Dunfermline?

Yes. Dunfermline is part of the area we cover in Fife, including KY12 and KY11. 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 Dunfermline?

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 Dunfermline visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Dunfermline and across KY12 and KY11, 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.

Can I get a price for Dunfermline 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.

Why do the laths on my roller door slide sideways?

Laths can shift sideways within the curtain over time, which can make their ends catch on the guide rails and damage them further. Don't try to tap them back into place yourself, especially while the door is running. Request a visit, and the engineer will realign or replace the affected laths and check the guides.

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.
