FAQ

The questions we get every week

Do you take on small residential jobs?

Yes. A single security gate or a set of burglar bars gets the same workshop and the same welder as a telecoms contract. Measure, quote, fabricate, install — usually within days.

What finishes do you offer?

Hot-dip galvanising, epoxy powder coating, electro galvanising and painting — specified to where the steel will live, so coastal work gets coastal protection.

Can you supply engineer certification?

Yes. Where a project requires it, we provide engineer's certification on our products — standard practice on our telecoms and structural work.

Which areas do you serve?

Gqeberha, Kariega/Uitenhage, Despatch and the wider Eastern Cape. Telecom bracketry systems are manufactured for clients nationally.
