About Me
Experienced with Kew's Older, More Demanding Properties
Kew has some of Melbourne's most beautiful older homes and some of its most demanding gate and garage door setups. Large driveways, heavy ornate gates, older mechanisms, and properties where everything needs to work seamlessly together.
I bring the technical knowledge and hands-on experience to handle all of it repairs, new installations, motor upgrades, and smart access systems. Whatever your property needs, I'll give you a straight answer and get it done properly.
🚗
Garage Door Repairs & Servicing
Roller doors, panel lift, tilt doors, and cantilever doors. I carry common parts and can often complete repairs in a single visit, no waiting around for parts to be ordered.
🏛️
Automatic Gate Repairs
Swing gates, sliding gates, heavy heritage iron gates. I service and repair all brands, including FAAC, BFT, ECA, and ATA, and I know how to handle the older, heavier setups common in Kew.
⚙️
Motor & Opener Installations
New motor needed? I supply and install quality openers for garage doors and gates, sized properly for the weight and usage of your specific setup.
📡
Remote & Smart Access
One remote to control every gate and door on your property. I also set up phone-based access so you can open your gate from anywhere, ideal for larger Kew properties.
🛡️
Safety Upgrades & Sensors
A gate or garage door that moves without the right safety devices is a liability. I install and replace photocells, ground loop detectors, virtual loop sensors, and reed switches, so your system stops when it should,

Emergency Callouts
Gate stuck open? Won't the garage door close? I offer fast-response callouts across Kew and Kew East. Most of the time, I can be there the same day, often within the hour
Why Kew is Different
Kew Properties Come with Their Own Challenges
Working in Kew regularly, I've come to know exactly what these properties throw up. A few things I see often that not every technician is set up to handle:
🏛️
Heavy ornate iron gates
Older Kew properties often have large, heavy gates built decades ago. Getting the motor sizing, hinge reinforcement, and balance right takes experience with these specific setups.
🚗
Cantilever garage doors
More common in established suburbs like Kew than anywhere else. They work differently to modern doors and need someone who actually knows the mechanism - I do.
📡
Multi-system properties
Larger Kew homes often have a front gate, garage door, and side access — all installed at different times. I bring it all under one remote or app so it works as a single system.

Honest assessments, always
Kew homeowners have been around the block. I give you a straight answer on what your property needs, repair, upgrade, or new installation, and why.

Issy arrived on time and took time to check and analyse the problem before confirming what was needed. He was honest in recommending a suitable solution and had everything installed the same day. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

We had problems with our gates for 5 years. This was the first time someone was actually able to diagnose and completely fix the problem. Great service, great professionalism.
James S. - Google Review
★★★★★
Issy went above and beyond — carefully adjusting and servicing the door so it now operates like new. He took great pride in his work and never rushed. It felt like he was working on his own garage door.
Vincent L. - Google Review
★★★★★
Issy fixed the gate and also set things up so the same remote now controls both the gate and the garage door. Excellent service, highly professional.

Issy came to assess my gate motor and did a comprehensive diagnosis and testing before presenting me with options. The whole process I was kept well informed. He will be our garage and gate person from now on.

Thorough Diagnosis First
I take the time to properly understand what's going on before I recommend anything. You'll always know what the problem is and why before any work begins.
Fast Response
I'm based locally and I move quickly. Most callouts across Kew are same-day or next-day, often within the hour for emergencies.
Quality That Lasts
I don't cut corners or use cheap parts. I want jobs to stay fixed, because that's how you get recommended to the neighbours.
