Damaged lath repairs in Lerwick

A knock from a car can damage the laths, guides and bottom rail of a roller door. For homes in Lerwick 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. Travel to Lerwick is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything.

What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Lerwick?

The curtain is refitted to the barrel and guides and run to check it travels smoothly before handover.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
Damaged laths are slid out of the curtain and replaced individually, without replacing the whole door.
If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.

How does it work in Lerwick?

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.

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 Lerwick: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Lerwick and across ZE1, 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.

How much is a visit in Lerwick?

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

Do you cover Lerwick?

Yes. Lerwick is part of the area we cover in the Highlands, Moray and Islands, including ZE1. 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 Lerwick 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.

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.
