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

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.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.

Covering Redhill and nearby

We survey and fit roller garage doors across Redhill, including RH1 and RH2, as part of our coverage in Surrey. Redhill is about 18 miles from Guildford.

Rules that apply in Redhill

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 Redhill: questions

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

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 Redhill visit date is confirmed in writing.

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.

Do you charge more for Redhill than other towns in Surrey?

No. Guide prices are the same for Redhill as for anywhere else we cover in Surrey. 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 I get a price for Redhill without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

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.
