Safety edge and photocell repairs in Burton upon Trent: questions

Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Burton upon Trent?

Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Burton upon Trent and across DE14, DE15 and DE13, 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.

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.

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.
