Suburbs we cover here: New Redruth, South Crest, Alberton CBD, Newmarket Park
Florentia is some of the older housing in Alberton and the garages match: narrow, low and built long before anyone thought about a double cab.
What we see in Florentia
The constraint is headroom rather than width. A conventional sectional door needs ceiling track these garages do not have, whereas a roller curtain rolls into a box above the opening and leaves the ceiling alone.
Widening is rarely an option on these stands, so the job is getting the most out of the opening that exists — a curtain that uses the full width and a box that keeps the headroom.
Getting on site
Narrow streets and short driveways. We start early, keep the vehicle off the pavement and leave the site clean.
Motors, backup and load shedding
Motorisation works once the guides are true and the balance is right. We correct both first, otherwise the motor spends its life carrying the fault.
Repairs on any make
Any make, any age. Springs, cables, guides and curtains that have been forced cover most Florentia repairs.
What it costs
Price follows the opening size, the slat specification and whether the door is manual or motorised. Narrow single openings sit at the lower end of the range.
How soon we can be there
A survey in Florentia is usually within 48 hours and a breakdown is attended same-day.
Getting a quote
Send the opening size and a photograph showing the lintel and the ceiling inside the garage.
Roller shutter and industrial door services in Florentia

Every curtain we hang in Florentia is manufactured to the measured opening rather than cut down from a stock size, in galvanised, perforated, transparent or powder-coated finishes.

Roller Shutter Door Repairs in Florentia
Most of our Florentia work is on doors we did not fit: jumped curtains, worn barrel bearings, broken springs, frayed cables and rusted bottom rails.
Roller Door Repairs in Florentia
A roller door in Florentia can normally be repaired rather than replaced — individual slats, guides and gear are all replaceable while the rest of the curtain stays.
Industrial Roller Shutter Doors in Florentia
Heavy-duty curtains for Florentia warehouses, workshops and loading bays, braced for the span and specified for the cycle count.
Industrial Roller Shutter Door Repairs in Florentia
When an industrial shutter stops in Florentia the building stops with it, so we attend same day and repair on the first visit wherever parts allow.
Roller Shutter Door Manufacturers in Florentia
We are a manufacturer, not a reseller, so a door supplied to Florentia can be matched, repaired and re-slatted years later from the same works that built it.
Industrial Door Manufacturers in Florentia
As industrial door manufacturers we build to the Florentia site rather than to a catalogue, including non-standard spans and heights.

Industrial door repairs across Florentia: straightened guides, replacement slats, new barrel bearings, rebuilt bottom rails and motor replacements.
Roller Shutter Door Servicing in Florentia

What customers say
Reviews from Florentia and nearby
Dock door back up the same morning
Our main dispatch door jammed at 6am with trucks already queuing. They had a technician on site before 8 and the door was running by mid-morning. They also told us the spring was the wrong rating for how often we cycle it, which nobody had mentioned in four years.

Straight answer instead of a sales pitch
I expected to be told I needed a new door. Instead they replaced three slats and the bottom rail and charged a fraction of what I had budgeted. The door has been fine since.

Galvanised made the difference
Our previous doors were rusting within two years of being painted. They replaced all six in galvanised with marine fixings and explained exactly why. Three years on there is barely a mark on them.

Common questions
Roller doors in Florentia
We will tell you honestly. Sag across the curtain, a motor working harder than it should and a bottom rail that no longer meets the slab evenly usually mean the door has done its time. Where there is life left we repair it instead.
Once it runs freely by hand, yes. We correct the guides and the balance first, because a motor fitted to an unbalanced Florentia door will be back on our list within two years.
Most doubles are surveyed, manufactured and fitted without the garage being out of use for more than a day. Manufacture is at our own works, so there is no six-week lead time.
