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

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.
Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.

Rules that apply in Wales

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 Wales some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Questions about safety edge and photocell repairs in Mid Glamorgan

Are guide prices the same across Mid Glamorgan?

Yes. The guide prices are the same in every town in Mid Glamorgan. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode.

We cover Mid Glamorgan, including Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Rhondda and Pontypridd. Every town has its own page with local details, and you can start a guide price for any postcode in Mid Glamorgan online.

Can I get a price without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type, or the visit price for a repair. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

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.

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.
