Yes, we repair generators in Kempton Park, from home standby sets in Birchleigh and Norkem Park to warehouse diesels in Isando and Spartan beside OR Tambo, on site at your property. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns; the fault is diagnosed first and quoted in writing before any work. Established in 2000, we work on diesel, petrol and gas generators in Kempton Park and in Glen Marais, Birchleigh, Norkem Park, Edleen, Bonaero Park, Isando and Spartan. Call or WhatsApp 082 057 4605 to book.
Kempton Park combines busy logistics and industrial areas with large residential suburbs. Isando, Spartan and Chloorkop are full of warehouses and workshops whose diesels must transfer quickly and carry heavy loads, and Bonaero Park sits right beside the airport. On these sites we test the ATS and run the set under load, because a start on the key proves very little.
Birchleigh, Birch Acres, Norkem Park and Glen Marais are mostly family homes and townhouse complexes with smaller canopied diesels and petrol sets. These wait for weeks between outages, so we check the battery and charger first. Out towards Pomona, sets are often larger and further from the gate, so tell us about access when you book.
Most Kempton Park homes and businesses get their electricity from the City of Ekurhuleni, and we plan Kempton Park visits with the rest of the East Rand.

What happens next
Charlie, lead technician: Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Degree in Electrical Engineering, Diesel Plant Fitter. Generator specialists since 2000.
In Kempton Park, home sets usually fail after sitting idle, while warehouse and workshop diesels fail when they carry a heavy load for hours.
On house sets we start with the battery, starter and charger. On business sets we also check for a controller alarm holding the set off.
Blocked filters, water in the tank and air in the lines stop an engine that cranks. We find the restriction before we quote parts.
We meter the output with the warehouse or house load connected and trace the fault to the AVR, alternator or wiring.
A set that runs while the building stays dark has a transfer fault. We test the ATS and the controller signals.
When engine speed drops as the load comes on, we check fuel delivery and the governor before the AVR.
We check coolant, the radiator, fan belt and airflow after a long commercial run.
With a steady engine note and no output, we test the breaker, excitation and wiring.
Warehouses, workshops and logistics yards in Isando, Spartan and Chloorkop rely on standby diesels that must transfer quickly and then carry lighting, IT, chargers and machinery. When one fails, we trace the fault on site, test the ATS with a real changeover and run a load bank test when you need proof the repaired set can carry the building. Planned servicing for these sites is on the Kempton Park servicing and maintenance page.
Tell us whether the set clicks, cranks without firing, or does nothing at all. A click points to the battery or starter, a crank without firing points to fuel, and silence on an automatic set points to the controller. We test the likely cause first, then quote. Call or WhatsApp 082 057 4605.
A planned service replaces the fuel filters. When an engine still starves after that, we check for water in the tank, air leaks, the lift pump and the injectors, in that order.
We work on the full range found in Kempton Park: home canopies and petrol sets in the residential suburbs, and larger diesels with automatic changeover in the industrial areas.
We service and repair the brands below. Send a photo of the data plate on WhatsApp so we know the model before we arrive.
Birchleigh, Norkem Park, Edleen, Glen Marais and Aston Manor, with servicing that keeps the battery and fuel ready for the next outage.
Isando, Spartan and Chloorkop, with ATS testing and planned maintenance that keeps your business running.
Load bank testing and scheduled servicing on site, so you know a large set can carry the full load.
One call covers the canopy at your house and the diesel at your business.
A click, a crank without firing and a silent automatic set are three different faults, and we test for each.
We test the changeover itself, because a key start does not prove the ATS will transfer.
You get a written quote before any repair, and our workmanship carries a 1-year guarantee.

From a safe distance, note any alarm on the controller display, whether the set clicks, cranks or stays silent, and the fuel level. Do not open panels. Send these details and your address on WhatsApp so we arrive prepared.
A set that runs while the building stays dark usually has a transfer fault, so we test the ATS and the controller signals first, then the output breaker, excitation and wiring. The repair is quoted in writing before work starts.
An engine that turns but will not fire usually has a fuel problem: a blocked filter, air in the lines, water in the diesel or a shut-off that will not open. We trace it on site.
