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

Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
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.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Muswell Hill?

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 Muswell Hill as elsewhere we cover.

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

No. Guide prices are the same for Muswell Hill 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 message you a photo of my garage in Muswell Hill?

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

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.

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.
