Malanshof is older homes on medium stands near Cresta, with automation mostly from the first wave and now on borrowed time.
First-wave hardware
Most gates here are on original motors, and the parts question decides everything.
Early units were frequently better made than modern budget replacements, and one that is mechanically sound is worth repairing while boards and gears are stocked. Once out of support, a further repair is money spent twice.
Older walls and swing posts
The boundary walls are old and posts set into ageing brickwork move over decades. The lean is invisible at the post and obvious at the far edge, where the gate catches the ground or the leaves stop meeting.
Resetting the post is the repair that lasts. Adjusting the arm to force the gate through is the one that brings it back in six months. On a slider, the track and the rack are dealt with under sliding gate repairs.
Access and traffic
Close to the Cresta node, which means quick to reach outside the retail peaks and slower during them. For planned work a weekday mid-morning slot is materially faster.
