What should I know about safety edge and photocell repairs in Huntingdon?

Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.

Rules that apply in Huntingdon

Powered door safety

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

Electrics

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Huntingdon: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Huntingdon and across PE29 and PE28, 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.

Do you charge more for Huntingdon than other towns in Cambridgeshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Huntingdon as for anywhere else we cover in Cambridgeshire. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

How much is a visit in Huntingdon?

Prices for safety edge and photocell repairs start from £99 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Huntingdon as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Huntingdon visit date is confirmed in writing.

Why does my roller door reverse when nothing is in the way?

A door that reverses on its own while closing is often reacting to a safety device that thinks there's an obstruction. Dirty or misaligned photocells, a damaged safety edge, a loose cable or limits that have drifted can all cause it. Clean the photocell lenses and check the beam is clear, then request a visit if it continues.

Can photocells be added to a door that doesn't have them?

Often, if the control box has a connection for them. Some older systems need extra wiring or a replacement control box first. Tell us what's on the control box label and we'll confirm whether photocells can be added, and the price, before booking. Our battery backup and safety upgrades page covers adding devices.
