Rules that apply in Carmarthen

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 Wales 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 Carmarthen: questions

Do you charge more for Carmarthen than other towns in Dyfed?

No. Guide prices are the same for Carmarthen as for anywhere else we cover in Dyfed. 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.

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

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

Can I get a price for Carmarthen 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.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Carmarthen and across SA31, 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.

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.

How do I test my safety edge and photocells?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your door. In general, the test checks that the door stops or reverses when the safety edge meets an obstruction while closing, and that the door won't close while the photocell beam is broken. Keep people and pets clear while testing, and repeat the test monthly.
