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

Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.

Rules that apply in Grimsby

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 Grimsby: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Grimsby and across DN32, DN31 and DN34, 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.

How much is a visit in Grimsby?

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 Grimsby as elsewhere we cover.

Do you charge more for Grimsby than other towns in Lincolnshire?

No. Guide prices are the same for Grimsby as for anywhere else we cover in Lincolnshire. 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 get a price for Grimsby 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 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.

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.
