What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Kirkwall?

Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm the visit price and the laths likely to be needed.
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 laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.

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 Kirkwall: questions

Can I get a price for Kirkwall 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.

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

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

How much is a visit in Kirkwall?

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 Kirkwall are arranged individually and any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the visit is booked.

Do you cover Kirkwall?

Yes. Kirkwall is part of the area we cover in the Highlands, Moray and Islands, including KW15. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

Can you replace just one lath on a roller garage door?

Yes, if the rest of the curtain is sound and a matching lath is available. The damaged lath is slid out, a new one with the same profile is fitted, and the curtain is refitted and run through its guides. Photos of the damage and the lath ends help us confirm what's needed before booking.
