Suburbs we cover here: New Germany, Musgrave, Glenwood, Pinetown
Westville is established family housing on hilly ground, which means sloped driveways, split levels and a lot of double garages built into the structure of the house.
What we see in Westville
The slope is the thing. A driveway that falls toward the garage means water gets to the door and the floor line is rarely level, so a door built square to the lintel will show a gap at one end. Over time the motor fights that and burns out.
We survey the floor fall and build the bottom rail to it where needed, and we set the door so the seal actually seals. It is a small detail at manufacture and it removes the most common long-term complaint on sloped stands.
Getting on site
Older streets mean narrow driveways and not much room to work, so we survey for access as well as for the opening. If the door has to come in past a boundary wall or down a side passage we would rather know before manufacture than on the day. Where the garage is under the house we also check that the floor and the lintel are what they look like, because on stock this age they often are not.
Motors, backup and load shedding
Older garages usually have no dedicated circuit and often no plug point near the door at all. We include that in the quote rather than leaving you to arrange an electrician afterwards. Backup power matters here too, and we size it to actually cycle the door through a load shedding block rather than fitting a token battery that manages one opening.
Repairs on any make
On doors this age the honest answer is often a repair, not a replacement. A spring set, new pivots and a track realignment will bring a sound door back for a fraction of a new install, and we will do that where the frame is still good. Where the frame has rusted through at floor level, which is common in these older openings, we say so plainly rather than fitting new hardware to something that will not hold it.
What it costs
We quote Westville 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 We do not quote a range over the phone and then adjust it on site, because that is not a price, it is a deposit.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 Westville 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 Westville door, valid as quoted, with no charge for the visit.

Common questions
Roller doors in Westville
A roller shutter, in most cases. Plenty of the older garages in Westville have under 300mm above the opening, which a standard sectional and its tracks simply cannot use. A roller curtain rolls into a much smaller headbox, and where even that is tight we can build a compact barrel or mount externally. We measure the lintel, the side room and the floor fall before quoting, so you find this out from us rather than after paying a deposit somewhere else.
It depends on the frame, not the age. If the frame is sound, a spring set, new pivots and a track realignment will bring the door back for a fraction of a new install and we will happily fit that. If the frame has rusted through at floor level, which is common in older Westville openings, new hardware will not hold and we will tell you so rather than take the repair money twice.
Not for us, but it needs to be in the quote. Older houses in Westville often have no dedicated circuit at the door at all, so we include the electrical work rather than fitting the motor and leaving you to arrange an electrician afterwards. We also size the battery backup to actually cycle the door through a full load shedding block, not just once.
