Suburbs we cover here: Irene, Cornwall Hill, Highveld, Centurion CBD
Southdowns is established estate living on the eastern side of Centurion, with large homes, consistent architecture and an approved specification behind it.
What we see in Southdowns
As with any estate, approval comes before manufacture. We work to the architectural guidelines and get sign-off first. What we will not do is build a door on the assumption that it will be accepted, because that is a cost neither of us should be carrying.
These are otherwise clean jobs — sound openings, proper access, room to work. Where a home has more than one opening we survey the lot in a single visit and quote each as its own line, so you can do them in whatever order suits you.
Getting on site in Southdowns
Estates control contractor access and we plan for it properly. Tell us what the estate requires when you book the survey and we will have it in order. The survey covers the reveal at three heights, the headroom, and the architectural specification the door has to meet, which we get approved before anything is manufactured.
Motors, backup and load shedding
We size the motor to the measured curtain weight and fit battery backup as standard. Where the estate specifies a particular motor brand we fit that brand — it is their specification and arguing with it after the fact helps nobody. On wide triple-garage openings we rate the motor to the real weight of a long curtain rather than to a chart figure.
Repairs on any make
We repair any make, and in estates we work to the access arrangements rather than expecting an exception. Most calls are springs, bearings or a motor that has reached its end. Where a repair would alter the appearance of the door in a way the estate specification covers, we will flag that before doing it rather than leaving you to explain it afterwards.
What it costs
We quote from a measured survey and the survey is free anywhere in Centurion. What moves the price is the size of the opening, the slat gauge the job actually needs, whether it is motorised, the bracing a wide span calls for, and whether the reveal needs making good before a door can be fixed to it. We itemise those rather than handing you one number, so you can see what you are paying for and take out anything you do not want. A rough width and height over the phone is enough for a ballpark; we confirm it on site before anything is built.
How soon we can be there
Breakdowns in Southdowns are attended same-day wherever we can reach you, and our teams work Centurion every day. A door that will not close is treated as urgent. For new work the survey is normally within a day or two of your call, manufacture takes a few working days because every curtain is built to your measurements at our own works, and installation is a morning for a single and most of a day for a double with automation.
Getting a quote in Southdowns
Send us the opening width and height — and on older stock, the width at the top and at the bottom if you can get both — along with a photo of the opening from a few metres back. If you are in a complex or an estate, say so and we will work to the approved specification from the start. From there we book the free measured survey in Southdowns, confirm the sizes ourselves, and put a fixed price in writing. Nothing is built until you have agreed that price.

Common questions
Roller doors in Southdowns
Yes, and we get it signed off before manufacture rather than after installation. Send us the architectural guidelines with your enquiry — colour, profile, sometimes the motor brand — and we build to them. A door rejected once it is on the wall is an expensive and entirely avoidable mistake.
Whatever it needs, we would rather have it in order before the day. Tell us the requirements when you book the survey — access forms, insurance, induction, whatever the estate runs — and we will sort it out in advance. It saves a wasted trip for both of us and it saves you a phone call at the gate.
Yes, and on that span the bracing and the spring rating stop being details and become the job. An underspecified wide door sags in the middle, binds in its guides and fails at the ends. We build to the measured span and rate the springs to the real curtain weight rather than to a chart figure.
