Suburbs we cover here: Pinetown, Westmead, New Germany, Westville
Kloof is large properties on wooded stands, long driveways, double and triple garages, and the mist belt damp that comes with sitting up on the escarpment.
What we see in Kloof
Damp is the quiet problem here. It is not salt corrosion, it is constant moisture that gets into timber doors, into motor housings and into anything electrical mounted in an unheated garage. Timber doors in particular move with it and then bind.
Where a property wants the look of timber we will build an insulated steel or aluminium door finished to match rather than fitting something that will swell every winter. Where the client wants real timber we say plainly what the maintenance will be.
Getting on site
Long driveways and hilly stands mean access needs checking before the day, particularly on the larger properties where the vehicle cannot always get close to the garage. We survey for that as well as for the opening. On the industrial estates we work to the park rules and confirm what the bay can be taken out of service for before committing to a date.
Motors, backup and load shedding
Damp is what kills motors up here rather than salt. We site and seal the head unit so condensation does not settle on the board, and we use a sealed control box on anything mounted in an unheated garage or an open bay. Battery backup is standard on our installs and sized to cycle the door properly through a full load shedding block.
Repairs on any make
We repair any make, including doors we did not build. On timber doors, which are common on the larger stands, the first question is whether the damp has reached the structure or only the finish, and we answer it honestly. On the industrial side we hold the common profiles and hardware, so most repairs are a same-day or next-day job rather than a wait.
What it costs
We quote Kloof jobs off a free measured survey, itemised so you can see what the door, the motor and the installation each cost, and fixed in writing before anything is manufactured. We do not quote a range over the phone and then adjust it on site, because that is not a price, it is a deposit.
How soon we can be there
Surveys in Kloof are normally within one working day and quotes follow the same day the survey is done. Manufacture depends on the door, and we give you a real date rather than an optimistic one. Breakdowns are attended same-day wherever we can reach you.
Getting a quote
Send us the opening, or ask for a survey and we will come and measure it. Either way you get an itemised written price for your Kloof door, valid as quoted, with no charge for the visit.

Common questions
Roller doors in Kloof
Damp. Up on the escarpment it is constant moisture rather than salt that gets into motor housings and control boards, especially on anything mounted in an unheated garage or an open bay. We site and seal the head unit so condensation cannot settle on the board and use a sealed control box. It is the single most common cause of an early motor failure in Kloof.
Sensible warning. Real timber moves with the moisture up here and then binds, and the maintenance is ongoing. We can build an insulated steel or aluminium door finished to look like timber, which gives you the appearance without the seasonal movement. If you want genuine timber we will still make it, but we will tell you plainly what the upkeep involves first.
Almost always, but we check first. On the larger Kloof stands the vehicle cannot always get close to the garage, so we survey for access as well as for the opening and plan the delivery around it. It is a five-minute question at survey that avoids a wasted install day.
