Roller garage doors with vision and vent laths in Lockerbie: questions

How much do roller garage doors with vision and vent laths cost in Lockerbie?

Our guide price for roller garage doors with vision and vent laths is from £1,040 inc VAT. The figure for your garage depends on the opening size, the door specification and any extras, and is confirmed in a written quote after a free survey. The guide prices are the same in Lockerbie as elsewhere we cover.

Can you remove my old garage door in Lockerbie?

Yes. Every door price includes removing and disposing of an old roller or up-and-over door at your Lockerbie address, along with standard fixings and making good to the reveals. If the frame or lintel needs work, we price it at the survey before you agree.

Is the survey in Lockerbie really free?

Yes. For a new door, a replacement or a conversion, the survey is free and there is no obligation to go ahead. We measure the opening, check the lintel, headroom, side room and power, and send a written quote afterwards.

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

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

Do vent laths let rain or insects into the garage?

Vent laths have openings by design, so some air movement comes with them, and in very wet, windy weather a little moisture may get in. If you store things that must stay completely dry, keep them away from the door. Think about where the vent laths sit in the curtain, and discuss it at the survey before you decide.

Can I have vision laths on an electric roller door?

Yes. Vision and vent laths are part of the curtain, so they coil onto the barrel and run in the guides like the rest of the laths, whether the door is manual or electric. An electric door with vision laths is commissioned in the usual way, with the limits set and the safety edge or photocells tested.
