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

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.
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.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Neath: questions

Do you charge more for Neath than other towns in West Glamorgan?

No. Guide prices are the same for Neath as for anywhere else we cover in West Glamorgan. 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 Neath 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.

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

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 Neath visit date is confirmed in writing.

How much is a visit in Neath?

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 Neath as elsewhere we cover.

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.

Can I bypass the photocells to get the door shut?

No. Bypassing, bridging or taping over a safety device removes the protection that stops the door closing onto a person, pet or car. If the door won't close, switch it off at the isolator, keep the area clear and request a visit. Tell us if you're concerned about security when you get in touch.
