What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Elgin?

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.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.

Damaged lath repairs in Elgin: questions

Can I get a price for Elgin 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 Elgin?

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 Elgin visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you charge more for Elgin than other towns in the Highlands, Moray and Islands?

No. Guide prices are the same for Elgin as for anywhere else we cover in the Highlands, Moray and Islands. 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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Elgin and across IV30, 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.

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.

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.
