After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.

Rules that apply in Llandrindod Wells

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 Llandrindod Wells: questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Llandrindod Wells?

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 Llandrindod Wells visit date is confirmed in writing.

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Llandrindod Wells?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Llandrindod Wells and across LD1, 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.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Llandrindod Wells?

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

How much is a visit in Llandrindod Wells?

Prices for safety edge and photocell repairs start from £99 inc VAT, agreed before anyone comes out, and any extra parts are quoted before they are fitted. Because of travel, visits to Llandrindod Wells are arranged individually and any travel charge is confirmed in writing before the visit 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.

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.
