What should I know about safety edge and photocell repairs in Weston-super-Mare?

A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.
Photocells either side of the opening stop the door closing while anything is breaking the beam between them.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.

How does it work in Weston-super-Mare?

The engineer tests the circuit and replaces the faulty device, then tests the door. Any further parts are quoted before they're fitted.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Weston-super-Mare: questions

How much is a visit in Weston-super-Mare?

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 Weston-super-Mare as elsewhere we cover.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Weston-super-Mare?

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 Weston-super-Mare visit date is confirmed in writing.

Can I message you a photo of my garage in Weston-super-Mare?

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 Weston-super-Mare. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.

Do you charge more for Weston-super-Mare than other towns in Somerset?

No. Guide prices are the same for Weston-super-Mare as for anywhere else we cover in Somerset. 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.

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.
