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

Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Leominster: questions

Can I get a price for Leominster without anyone visiting?

Do you charge more for Leominster than other towns in Herefordshire?

How much is a visit in Leominster?

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 Leominster as elsewhere we cover.

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.

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.
