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

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.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.

Rules that apply in Maesteg

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.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Maesteg: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Maesteg and across CF34 and SA13, 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.

Do you cover Maesteg?

Yes. Maesteg is part of the area we cover in Mid Glamorgan, including CF34 and SA13. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Maesteg?

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 Maesteg visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Maesteg?

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 Maesteg. 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.

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.
