Damaged lath repairs in Fort William

For homes in Fort William and elsewhere in the Highlands, Moray and Islands, the engineer checks all three, replaces the damaged laths and runs the curtain to check it travels smoothly.

- The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
- Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
- Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.
- On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.

Damaged lath repairs in Fort William: questions
How much is a visit in Fort William?
Prices for damaged lath repairs start from £149 inc VAT, agreed before anyone comes out, and any extra parts are quoted before they are fitted. Because of travel, visits to Fort William are arranged individually and any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the visit is booked.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Fort William?
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 Fort William. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply 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.
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Fort William?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Fort William and across PH33, 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.
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.
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.
