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

After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.

Rules that apply in Fulham

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 Fulham: questions

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

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 Fulham. 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 Fulham?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Fulham and across SW6, SW10 and SW5, 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 cover Fulham?

Yes. Fulham is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SW6, SW10 and SW5. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

Do you charge more for Fulham than other towns in Greater London?

No. Guide prices are the same for Fulham as for anywhere else we cover in Greater London. 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 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.

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.
