Who the trade account is for
This support option is for sign makers, print houses, fit-out teams and agencies that need a dependable rigging crew on repeat jobs. We work as the rigging arm only, so you can keep your client relationship and pricing structure intact while we handle the practical site work.
It suits companies that book sign installation, removal, servicing, lighting access or billboard face changes on a regular basis. If your jobs move between Cape Town and Johannesburg, or if you cover a mix of coastal and inland sites, a trade account helps keep the admin in one place.
- Regular sign installation and removals
- Service visits and emergency callouts
- Sites needing scaffold access or platform work
- Multi-location work across the Western Cape and Gauteng
What gets easier once your account is active
Once your trade account is approved, your bookings can be handled with less back-and-forth. We keep the details on file for your usual sites, access needs, and contact people, so repeat work is quicker to arrange. That matters when a job has a tight handover or a customer wants a sign up before trading hours start.
You also get cleaner invoicing. Instead of managing different job notes for different crews, you can keep one account record for recurring work, with clear site references and service notes. This helps when you need to match a callout to a quotation or a follow-up visit, and it cuts down on confusion when several sites are active at once.
- Faster re-booking for repeat sites
- Job notes kept against your account
- Consolidated invoicing for agreed work
- Clear site history for servicing and return visits
How to request a trade account
Start by sending an enquiry through the contact page. Include your company name, the towns or areas you cover, and the type of sign work you send out most often. If you operate in Paarden Eiland, Bellville, Somerset West, Paarl, Johannesburg CBD, Sandton, Midrand or the East Rand, mention that too so we can match the right crew to your jobs.
We will then review the account request, confirm the usual billing details, and agree how you want work booked in. If you already know the kind of jobs you send out most often, it helps to list them upfront. A short note on access, lifting gear, height, or after-hours work can save time later on. Simple, but it works.
- Send your enquiry through the contact page form
- Share your trading name and main areas
- List the common services you need
- Confirm billing and booking contact details
What we need from you before the first job
For the first booking on a trade account, we normally need a few practical details so the team arrives ready. That includes the site address, the sign size where possible, access restrictions, and whether power or lighting access is involved. If a lift or scaffold is needed, tell us early so we can plan the crew and equipment properly.
We also need to know if the site is in a busy CBD street, a retail centre, or an industrial area with loading rules. In Cape Town, coastal humidity and wind exposure can affect fixings and working windows, while in Gauteng some sites need extra access control or after-hours attendance. The more accurate the site note the better the job runs.
- Exact site address and contact on arrival
- Sign dimensions or approximate size
- Access notes, including height and parking
- Any special lift, scaffold or safety requirements
How our crews protect your client relationships
We are not a sign shop, and we do not compete with the people who bring us in. Our crews install, remove and service signs for sign makers only, so your client remains your client. That is important when you need a crew that works professionally on your behalf and understands the value of staying in the background.
Our team includes scaffold and first-aid trained staff, with safety planning built into the work. Gareth van der Merwe oversees the business, while Thandi Mokoena manages operations, Liam Jacobs leads rigging, Sibusiso Dlamini handles safety, Ayesha Daniels manages client liaison, and Pieter Coetzee oversees fleet and access. It gives your jobs a steady chain of responsibility, rather than a scrambled handover.
Jobs that suit a trade account best
Trade accounts are especially useful when your work comes in waves. One week might be a full sign installation, the next a removal and re-fit, followed by maintenance on a few older signs. If you manage multiple branches or franchise sites, a standing account keeps those jobs moving without starting from scratch each time.
It also helps with work that needs careful scheduling around load-shedding, weather, or trading hours. A face change on a billboard, a light check after a fault, or a relocation to a new premises can all be booked through the same account process. The admin stays manageable, and the site work stays on track.
- Billboard face changes and sign relocations
- Maintenance visits and lighting access
- Emergency callouts for damaged signs
- Removal work ahead of refits or tenant changes
Where we support trade clients
We support sign makers across Paarden Eiland, Bellville, Somerset West and Paarl in the Western Cape, and across Johannesburg CBD, Sandton, Midrand and the East Rand in Gauteng. Because we run crews in both regions, trade clients can keep one practical support line for jobs in different towns and business districts.
If you need regular rigging support and want the admin kept tidy, a trade account is a sensible way to work. You send the sign job, we handle the access, lifting and install side, and your team can stay focused on making and selling the signage. That arrangement suits busy firms who need things done properly, not fussed over.
