Gate motors, fencing and security in Bedfordview
From our workshop in Kya Sands, Randburg, we install, upgrade and service gates, gate motors, electric fencing and intercoms for homes and businesses in Bedfordview.

On Monday at 7:10am in Bedford Gardens, the old swing gate opens a metre, catches the brick paving where the driveway climbs, and stops. You sit with the handbrake on and the car pointing uphill, while the traffic on the N3 builds.
Our workshop and service department are in Kya Sands, Randburg, on the other side of Johannesburg from Bedfordview. So we plan Bedfordview work with care: one site visit to measure and look at everything, a written quotation, then an installation day with the parts already on the bakkie.
One team plans your job, fits it and comes back to service it, so nothing gets lost between a salesperson and an installer on the far side of town.
Driveways on the slope
Much of Bedfordview is built on a hillside, and many driveways climb or drop away from the street. A swing gate hung decades ago on a gentle rise now scrapes paving which has been relaid twice since. A heavy gate on a slope also works its motor harder every time it opens.
On the site visit we measure the opening, the fall of the driveway and the size of the gate before suggesting anything. Sometimes a swing gate can be rehung to clear the paving. Sometimes a sliding gate on a level track, with a motor sized for its weight, is the better answer, and we make that gate in our own workshop.
Driveway gates →Security added one piece at a time
Many Bedfordview homes have collected forty years of security. The wall went up first, then an alarm, then electric fencing on brackets from another decade, then a gate motor and an intercom from two different companies. Each part works on its own, more or less, and nobody has a full list of what is on the property.
We look at all of it on one visit: the energiser, the fence strands, the alarm panel, the gate motor and the intercom. You then get a written quotation listing what can stay, what needs repairing and what should be replaced, so an upgrade starts from what you already own. We repair gate motors other companies installed, too.
Electric fencing →Planned visits from across town
Kya Sands is a long way from Bedfordview. A repair needing a second trip for a part costs you another day of opening the gate by hand, so we ask for photos of the motor, the intercom or the fence energiser before we come. Many faults can then be fixed on the first visit.
For homes and businesses wanting more than a call when something breaks, a service level agreement brings regular service visits, booked ahead, and 24-hour access to our technicians. Finance is available on residential and commercial service contracts.

Questions from Bedfordview
Which parts of Bedfordview do you cover?
We cover Bedfordview and the suburbs around it, including Bedford Gardens, Bedford Park, Oriel, Senderwood, Essexwold, St Andrews, Morninghill and Malvern East. Our teams travel from our workshop in Kya Sands, on the other side of Johannesburg, so we book Bedfordview jobs ahead and plan each visit around the parts it needs. We work on freestanding homes, cluster complexes, shops and offices across the area, including the business streets around Eastgate. Many Bedfordview properties are older homes on big plots, so much of our work here is upgrading gates, motors, electric fencing and intercoms put in years ago. If yours isn't on the list, message us your suburb on WhatsApp or use the form on this page, and we'll let you know. Our areas page lists everywhere else we work, including Edenvale next door.
How do I get a quote for a job in Bedfordview?
Send us a message on WhatsApp or through the form on this page, with your suburb and a few photos of the gate, motor, fence or intercom. Photos help most on jobs across town, because they tell us what to bring before we set out. We then book a site visit, Monday to Friday, or on a Saturday morning by appointment. On the visit, a consultant looks at the property, talks through what you need and measures up, including the width and slope of the driveway. Afterwards, you get a written quotation listing each item and its cost before anything is ordered or made. Gates, burglar bars and security gates are made in our Kya Sands workshop and fitted by our own installers, so one team is responsible for your job from the first measurement to the last bolt.
Can you upgrade an old electric fence?
Yes, in most cases. Many older Bedfordview walls carry electric fencing put up years ago, sometimes by a company no longer trading. On the site visit, we check the energiser (the box powering the fence), the strands, the insulators, the brackets and the earth, then tell you plainly what can stay. A sound wall with good brackets may need only new strands and a new energiser. Brackets which have rusted or bent usually need replacing along the full run, so the fence works the same on every side of the property. A new energiser can link to your alarm, and a GSM module can send an alert to your phone when the fence is touched or cut, or when its power drops. The written quotation lists every change and its cost before work starts, so you decide what to upgrade now and what can wait.
Is a service level agreement worth it in Bedfordview?
It depends on how much you rely on your gate, but the distance from our workshop counts in its favour. A service level agreement (SLA) gives you regular service visits, booked ahead, so a technician tests batteries, motors, fences and intercoms before they fail. It also gives you 24-hour access to our technicians, including weekends, public holidays and nights. Without a service contract, we work Monday to Friday, and on Saturday mornings by appointment, so a gate failing on a Friday evening can mean opening it by hand until Monday. Finance is available on residential and commercial service contracts. A shop or office near Eastgate may have a gate, cameras and an alarm on one site, and one agreement can cover all of them. Ask us about a service contract when we quote, and we'll explain what it covers, how often we'd visit and what it costs.
