Garage doors for Houghton's heritage homes and modern complexes
Houghton is about 6 km south of Sandton City. Houghton's properties are a mix of large, architecturally significant homes in areas like Upper Houghton, and upmarket apartment buildings along roads such as Riviera Road. Garages in the older homes often have heavy, custom-made doors that are integral to the building's aesthetic, set behind established gardens and high walls. In modern complexes like Splice Apartments, reliable and uniform sectional doors are a priority for the body corporate.
Our approach is specific to the property. For a heritage home, we focus on preserving the original door where possible, checking its balance and structure before recommending a motor strong enough for its weight. For apartment complexes, we focus on preventative maintenance across all units, making sure that the doors, motors, and battery backups can handle high-frequency use by residents without constant issues.
The main concern for Houghton homeowners is integrating the garage into the home's security, as it is often a direct entry point. We clear old remote codes and make sure safety features are correctly set. For bodies corporate, the priority is consistent, secure access for all residents. We can service all doors in a scheme, manage remote control programming, and provide a single point of contact for trustees.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our garage doors page.
Questions from Houghton
My old wooden garage door is beautiful but very heavy. Do I have to replace it?
Not necessarily. If the timber is sound, we can often restore its function. By servicing the springs and mechanical parts and fitting a new motor suited to its weight, you can keep the door's original look while gaining modern, reliable operation.
We are new trustees in our complex. Can you check the history and status of all our garage doors?
Yes. We can do a full assessment of every garage door and motor in the complex and provide a report for the body corporate. This helps with budgeting for maintenance and future replacements.
