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

Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
Never tape over, bridge or bypass a safety device to make an electric roller door close.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.

Rules that apply in Cirencester

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 Cirencester: questions

Do you charge more for Cirencester than other towns in Gloucestershire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Cirencester as for anywhere else we cover in Gloucestershire. 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 Cirencester?

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

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Cirencester and across GL7, 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 I get a price for Cirencester 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.

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.

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.
