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

Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.

Rules that apply in Welshpool

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.

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 Welshpool: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Welshpool and across SY21, 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.

Will you fix the door on the first visit?

A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date in writing.

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

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

Do you charge more for Welshpool than other towns in Powys?

No. Guide prices are the same for Welshpool as for anywhere else we cover in Powys. The written quote reflects your opening and the door you choose, not your postcode, apart from islands and remote areas where any travel cost is shown in advance.

Can photocells be added to a door that doesn't have them?

Often, if the control box has a connection for them. Some older systems need extra wiring or a replacement control box first. Tell us what's on the control box label and we'll confirm whether photocells can be added, and the price, before booking. Our battery backup and safety upgrades page covers adding devices.

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.
