Measure, then specify, then supply-and-fit
The brief is the opening in Somerset West, Strand or Gordon's Bay: size, travel, material, and whether a motor belongs on the same job. We do not start from a carton.

Garage doors in Somerset West — supply and fit
Garage doors in Somerset West — supply-and-fit of sectional, roll-up and tip-up doors, plus motors. Site measure, photos of the opening, suburb. Not a kit shop.
01
A garage-door contractor should measure the opening, specify the door type and material, then supply-and-fit — not sell a carton, and not retitle as a gate-motor shop.
This is the supply-and-fit card for garage doors in Somerset West. Somerset West Garage Doors measures the opening, specifies the leaf — sectional, roll-up or tip-up — and the material that will live on that opening, then supplies and fits the door. Where the brief includes it, we supply and fit the motor on the same job. Houses, estate garages and body-corporate openings in Somerset West, Strand and Gordon's Bay are the ordinary briefs. We are not a hardware kit shop, not a colour SKU wall, and not a driveway-gate company occupying this page. The measure is the start. Width, height, headroom and side room decide whether a sectional can travel up and back, whether a tip-up has apron space, or whether a roll-up is the leaf that coils above the opening. Short Helderberg driveways are a practical reason to talk sectional versus tip-up; they are not invented plot sizes. False Bay salt is why Aluzinc or aluminium comes up against cheap galvanized, and why meranti is a timber conversation that includes oiling. We will not turn this card into a manufacturer PDF or a coastal laboratory essay. A new door is one brief. Automating a balanced manual door is another. Replacing a leaf that has rusted through, sagged, or been hit is a third. The site visit says which. Custom sizes and windows in the leaf can be discussed on the measure; they are not a separate catalogue. Insulated panels exist as a spec option when the opening asks for them — we will not name a prestige range we do not own. Industrial roller shutters for factories and storage have their own card and stay off this residential supply-and-fit page. Send the suburb and photos of the opening. We quote from the site measure. Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp on this page. No Rand figure is published. No motor-brand dealership is claimed. No written year as a warranty is printed here.
What good work includes
Scope the complete requirement.
Sectional, roll-up or tip-up — the opening decides
Short driveways often point to a sectional that stacks overhead. Tip-up needs apron space. Roll-up coils above the opening. The measure picks the leaf.
Material as a coastal spec, not a colour chart
Aluzinc, aluminium and meranti are fitted doors on this card. Cheap galvanized versus a coastal spec is a Helderberg conversation, not a SKU grid.
Motors with the door, not a brand shop
We supply and fit an operator to match the leaf. We do not stock a named kit wall, and we do not sell the motor without the fit.

Straight answers
Questions about garage doors.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Do you supply and fit, or only sell garage doors in Somerset West?+
Supply-and-fit. The measure, the spec, then we hang the door. We are not a kit counter and not a supply-only motor shop.
Which door types do you fit?+
Sectional, roll-up and tip-up on residential openings. Industrial roller shutters sit on a separate card. The measure picks the type.
Do I need a new door, or can you automate the one I have?+
If the leaf is balanced and sound, a motor may be enough. If it is tired, off-track or the wrong type for the opening, replacement comes first. Site call.
How do you choose Aluzinc, aluminium or meranti?+
Opening, coast, and how the door will be used. Salt is why cheap galvanized is a poor coastal default. Timber needs oiling. Not a colour chart.
Do you work on houses, estates and body-corporate blocks?+
Yes. Name the town and the access. We will not invent a list of complexes.
Will you quote without a site measure?+
Photos plus the suburb start the quote. The measure sets type, size and material. We will not invent a photo-only price as policy.
Are driveway-gate motors part of this page?+
No. This site is garage doors. Gate motors are related work we also fit, because the trade often does both. They do not retitle this company.
Do you publish prices or a warranty year on this card?+
No Rand figure and no written warranty year. Opening size, type, material, motor and access shape the quote after the measure.
