Suburbs we cover here: Hyde Park, Sandton CBD, Atholl, Craighall, Inanda
Illovo packs offices, restaurants and boutique retail onto stands that were laid out for houses. That constraint shapes every door here: basements are tight, ramps are steep and short, and there is rarely anywhere to stage materials.
Basements and parkades
An Illovo ramp is often steeper than a purpose-built parkade, which matters more than people expect. A shutter at the bottom of a steep short ramp stands in run-off after every storm, so we specify the bottom rail and seal for it and set the safety edge and photo-eyes to the actual gradient rather than to a flat-approach default. Doors that close on cars almost always trace back to that setting, not to a broken door.
Restaurants and retail
The restaurant strip needs back-of-house shutters that tolerate grease, daily washing and deliveries that start before dawn — galvanised, easy to clean, and serviced more often than a retail door. Shopfront curtains are usually perforated so the frontage still reads at night.
Access is the recurring constraint. Loading is on-street and time-limited, so we survey for it and schedule around your service periods. Tell us your trading hours and we work to them.

As industrial door manufacturers we build to the Illovo site rather than to a catalogue, including non-standard spans and heights.

What customers say
Reviews from Illovo 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.

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 Illovo
Almost always the safety edge and photo-eyes are set for a flat approach rather than a ramp, or the hold-open timer is too short. Both are adjustable and neither means the door is broken.
Yes. On steep short Illovo ramps we specify a galvanised bottom rail with sealed cut edges and a bulb seal suited to standing water, which is what stops the rail rusting through in a few seasons.
Yes. Back-of-house shutters get surveyed and worked on between services or early morning before deliveries. Give us your trading hours at survey and we schedule to them.
