Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.

Rules that apply in York

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 York: questions

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

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 York. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

How much is a visit in York?

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 York as elsewhere we cover.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in York and across YO1, YO31 and YO10, 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 York?

Yes. York is part of the area we cover in North Yorkshire, including YO1, YO31 and YO10. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.

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.

Can I bypass the photocells to get the door shut?

No. Bypassing, bridging or taping over a safety device removes the protection that stops the door closing onto a person, pet or car. If the door won't close, switch it off at the isolator, keep the area clear and request a visit. Tell us if you're concerned about security when you get in touch.
