What should I know about damaged lath repairs in Stornoway?

If many laths are damaged, we'll tell you plainly whether a new roller door would be better value.
On electric doors, the safety devices are checked again after the curtain has been refitted.
New laths can look slightly different from weathered ones, and we'll say so before any laths are ordered.
Guide rails and the bottom rail are checked for damage too, and any extra parts are quoted before fitting.

How does it work in Stornoway?

The engineer replaces the damaged laths and refits and tests the curtain. Any other parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Damaged lath repairs in Stornoway: questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Stornoway?

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 Stornoway visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I get a price for Stornoway 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 Stornoway?

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

Do you charge more for Stornoway?

Possibly. The door and visit guide prices are the same as elsewhere, but travel to Stornoway is priced individually and shown in writing before you agree to anything, so there are no surprises on the day.

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.

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.
