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

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.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.

How does it work in Yeovil?

We confirm the visit price and the likely part before anything is booked. The visit date depends on engineer availability and is confirmed in writing.

Rules that apply in Yeovil

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 Yeovil: questions

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

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Yeovil and across BA20, BA21 and BA22, 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.

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Yeovil?

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 Yeovil visit date is confirmed in writing.

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

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

Do you charge more for Yeovil than other towns in Somerset?

No. Guide prices are the same for Yeovil 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.

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.
