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

Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
The engineer tests the whole circuit, because a damaged cable or control box fault can look like a failed device.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
Wiping the photocell lenses and clearing the beam are safe checks to make before you request a visit.

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 Bath as elsewhere we cover.

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Bath and across BA1 and BA2, 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 Bath?

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 Bath. 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.

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.
