Rules that apply in Lincoln
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 Lincoln: questions
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Lincoln?
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 Lincoln. 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 Lincoln?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Lincoln and across LN2, LN6 and LN1, 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.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Lincoln?
If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Lincoln visit date is confirmed in writing.
Do you cover Lincoln?
Yes. Lincoln is part of the area we cover in Lincolnshire, including LN2, LN6 and LN1. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
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.
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.
