Redevelopment signage
Signage Company Serving Crown Mines
Crown Mines is a mixed area on the southwestern edge of Johannesburg's inner city, where old mining land has given way to light industry, trade counters, residential pockets and a number of institutional and commercial sites. The character is part heritage, part redevelopment, which gives the signage a particular job: marking what a site is now.
That might mean refreshing weathered signs on older buildings or giving a newly redeveloped site its first identity.

How site surveys and installation work
Crown Mines surveys are by appointment. The first job is often to look at what is already on the wall: faded boards, old frames, redundant brackets. We record these, measure the surfaces, check power and photograph the approaches so mock-ups show how the new sign will look in place.
Where old signs must come down first, we plan removal, making good and installation together.
For property owners and tenants (City of Johannesburg)
Crown Mines falls under the City of Johannesburg, so outdoor signs may need municipal approval depending on size, position and lighting. Developers and owners of redeveloped sites should also check any design guidelines in lease or development conditions.
Older structures can hide weak fixings or damaged brickwork. We examine the substrate before choosing fixings, and any electrical work for lit signs is done by qualified persons.
