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

After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Deeside: questions

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

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

Do you charge more for Deeside than other towns in Clwyd?

No. Guide prices are the same for Deeside as for anywhere else we cover in Clwyd. 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 Deeside?

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 Deeside as elsewhere we cover.

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

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 Deeside visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I bypass the photocells to get the door shut?

No. Bypassing, bridging or taping over a safety device removes the protection that stops the door closing onto a person, pet or car. If the door won't close, switch it off at the isolator, keep the area clear and request a visit. Tell us if you're concerned about security when you get in touch.

Do you repair safety devices on any make of roller door?

Yes. We repair and replace safety edges and photocells on electric roller garage doors of any make, provided compatible parts are available for the control box. We don't work on sectional or up-and-over doors. If a compatible part isn't available, we'll explain the options before anything is booked.
