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

Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
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.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.

Rules that apply in Eastbourne

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 Eastbourne: questions

How much is a visit in Eastbourne?

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 Eastbourne as elsewhere we cover.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

Do you charge more for Eastbourne than other towns in East Sussex?

No. Guide prices are the same for Eastbourne as for anywhere else we cover in East Sussex. 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.

Do you cover Eastbourne?

Yes. Eastbourne is part of the area we cover in East Sussex, including BN21, BN20 and BN22. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.
