Signage Cleaning, Inspection and Maintenance

• Illuminated fascia signs, lightboxes and pylons that dim or flicker. See LED signage repairs.
• Large facades and high-level letters where dirt and fixings are hard to check.
• Shopping, office and business-park signage managed by property managers.
• Petrol station and roadside signage in dusty, exposed locations.
• Multi-branch networks needing consistent presentation. See multi-branch retail branding.

• Once-off clean: a visit to restore dirty or stained signs.
• Scheduled programme: regular visits at an agreed frequency.
• Inspection report: a record of condition, with photographs and recommended actions.
• Minor repairs: re-fixing loose letters, replacing failed LED modules or drivers, resealing and touch-ups.
• Face replacement: new acrylic or vinyl faces on lightboxes where faces are damaged or faded.
• Upgrades: modern LED retrofits through LED signage retrofit services.

Method depends on the sign. Acrylic faces are cleaned with mild soapy water and a soft cloth, because harsh solvents and abrasives can craze or scratch them. Brushed and polished metals need non-abrasive cleaning in the direction of the grain. Powder-coated and painted surfaces take mild detergent. Lightbox faces and vinyl need gentle handling to avoid lifting edges. Fabric faces on tension lightboxes need cleaning suited to the fabric. Where the sign is unusual, we confirm the method before starting.

During an inspection we check that every LED section lights, that colours match across the sign, and that cabling, drivers and connections are sound. Dark patches, flicker or colour drift can be caused by failed modules, drivers or moisture. Repairs on live electrical equipment are done safely and by suitably qualified people. Where a sign is old, we say so honestly if repair is no longer sensible and replacement is better.

• Choose cleaning and maintenance when signs work but look dirty, or to prevent faults and keep a record.
• Choose LED signage repairs when a sign has already failed or flickers.
• Choose removal and replacement when a sign is beyond sensible repair or the brand is changing.

Our maintenance page gives an overview across all services.

• Access: high or roof signs need safe access equipment, which affects scheduling.
• Power isolation: lit signs are switched off and isolated before work.
• Weather: outdoor work depends on safe conditions.
• Water ingress: seals, gaskets and cable entries are checked, because moisture is a common cause of failures.
• Fixings: loose or corroded fixings are noted, since they affect safety. Tell us if a sign moves or sounds loose.
• Approvals: major changes may need landlord, body-corporate or municipal consent.

• Number, size and height of the signs.
• Frequency of the maintenance programme.
• Access equipment required.
• Number of sites and travel within Gauteng.
• Parts and materials for repairs.
• Report detail and photographs.

Look at your signs at night as well as in daytime. Note any dark sections or flicker, any loose parts, and trees growing close. Do not use pressure washers on lightboxes or at letter edges. Do not use solvents on acrylic. Report faults early, since small problems cost less than large ones. Send us photographs if you are unsure.

We schedule visits by appointment from our Rivonia base, and can group sites in one area into a single route. Areas we serve include:

• Sandton
• Johannesburg
• Pretoria
