Garside groupoids, as recently introduced by Krammer, generalise Garside groups. A weak Garside group is a group that is equivalent as a category to a Garside groupoid. We show that any periodic loop in a Garside groupoid $\CG$ may be viewed as a Garside element for a certain Garside structure on another Garside groupoid $\CG_m$, which is equivalent as a category to $\CG$. As a consequence, the centraliser of a periodic element in a weak Garside group is a weak Garside group. Our main tool is the notion of divided Garside categories, an analog for Garside categories of B\"okstedt-Hsiang-Madsen's subdivisions of Connes' cyclic category. This tool is used in our separate proof of the $K(\pi,1)$ property for complex reflection arrangements
