Older homes on steep stands

Roller Shutter Doors Craighall

Garage doors in Craighall — older homes on sloped stands with steep driveways, low lintels and doors that have to work with the gradient.

Suburbs we cover here: Hyde Park, Parkmore, River Club, Illovo, Craighall Park

Craighall is older housing on sloping ground, and the slope is the thing that shapes the work. Steep short driveways, garages cut into the fall of the stand, and openings that are rarely square.

Gradient and water

A garage at the bottom of a steep Craighall driveway collects run-off after every storm. That decides the bottom rail and the seal: galvanised, sealed cut edges and a bulb seal that takes up an uneven slab, or the rail rusts through within a few seasons. It also affects the safety settings on a motorised door, since obstruction detection tuned for a flat approach behaves badly on a slope.

Older openings

Lintels are low and openings are often out of square, so we build to the survey rather than to a stock size. Roll-up doors suit most of these garages; where headroom allows a sectional door it will seal and run better.

Most of what we do here is repair — springs, cables, rollers and motors on doors that have been in place for decades, on any make.

What customers say

Reviews from Craighall and nearby

  • Quick, tidy, no fuss

    Motorised our old manual door and fitted a battery backup. Two hours on site, cleaned up after themselves, and showed my wife how to work the manual override before they left.

  • Reports we can actually file

    We needed evidence of maintenance for our insurers. Every visit comes with a written report covering force testing and safety devices. It closed the audit finding first time.

    Nadia F.Facilities manager, Centurionvia Google

  • Good work, slightly slower than promised

    The door itself is excellent and the installation was neat. Manufacture ran about a week longer than the original estimate, though they did keep us updated. Would still use them again.

Common questions

Roller doors in Craighall

Considerably. A galvanised bottom rail with sealed cut edges and a bulb seal that conforms to an uneven slab makes most of the difference, and it also stops the rail corroding from standing water.

It affects the safety settings more than the motor. Obstruction detection and travel limits tuned for a flat approach behave unpredictably on a slope, so we set them to the actual gradient.

No, because we build to the surveyed opening. It is precisely why a stock-size door is the wrong answer on older Craighall houses — forced into an out-of-square opening it leaves a daylight gap down one side.
