Suburbs we cover here: Symhurst, Hazeldene, Castleview, Klopperpark
Solheim sits on the western edge of Germiston, mixing small commercial frontage with established housing on the higher ground.
What we see in Solheim
The commercial work here is mostly security shutters over glass, and a lot of them were retro-fitted years after the building went up, bolted to whatever was closest rather than into structure.
We fix to structure and build to the surveyed opening. On the residential side it is the familiar older-stock work, tired springs and lintels that will not take a sectional, treated the same way we do it in Lambton.
Getting on site
On the commercial frontage we work around trading hours and confirm loading and parking before the day. On the residential side it is the usual older-stock survey, access as well as opening. Either way we would rather spend twenty minutes on site before quoting than discover on install day that the door cannot physically reach the opening.
Motors, backup and load shedding
Customer-facing doors need to be quiet and quick as well as reliable, and workshop doors need to be strong, so we do not fit the same unit to both even in the same building. Backup power is worth having on anything customer-facing, and on the service side a solid manual override that works every time beats a battery that is flat when you need it.
Repairs on any make
We repair any make of door. The common faults on this side are fixings that were never anchored into structure, bearings that have seized and curtains worn at the guides. Most are a same-day or next-day fix because we hold the parts, and we will tell you which faults are worth repairing and which are the door telling you it is finished.
What it costs
We quote Solheim 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 We do not quote a range over the phone and then adjust it on site, because that is not a price, it is a deposit.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 Solheim are normally within one working day and the quote follows 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 Solheim door, valid as quoted, with no charge for the visit.

Common questions
Roller doors in Solheim
No. We schedule frontage work around your trading hours, which normally means an early start or a Sunday, and we tell you which at quoting stage rather than on the morning. Where the shopfront is on a busy pavement we include the barricading and permissions in the quote, so there are no surprises on the day.
Yes, and we would recommend it. A shutter that sounds like a workshop is not what you want at a shop entrance. We spec a quieter motor and a cleaner finish on the customer-facing opening and put the duty-rated hardware where the actual work happens. They do not have to be the same door even in the same Solheim building.
Almost always because it was retro-fitted and bolted to whatever was closest rather than anchored into structure. It works until the fixings start moving, then the curtain drifts out of true and eventually jams. We fix into structure and build to the surveyed opening, which is the difference between a shutter that lasts and one you keep calling about.
