The detail

The plant and
the tickets.

Cable pulls go wrong for predictable reasons — a bend nobody flagged, a duct that was never proved, a winch that cannot hold tension over the run. We check the route first and bring plant sized for the job rather than hoping it pulls.

Our own sites

All our work.

Not stock photography and not a supplier catalogue — every one of these was taken on an iLifa job. Tap any image to open it.

How it works

Four steps.
No surprises.

Step 01

You call or send a photo

Phone, WhatsApp or the form. A photo of the site tells us more than a paragraph.

Step 02

We assess on site

We come out, measure and check the conditions. Free, and no obligation to proceed.

Step 03

Firm written quote

A fixed price in writing with the scope spelled out. Not a rough number over the phone.

Step 04

Our crew does the work

Scheduled, done by iLifa staff, site cleared afterwards. We hand it over finished.

Questions

Straight answers.

What size cable can you pull?

Up to 150 mm diameter, with runs to 450 metres, including trefoil install. Drum handling to 45 ton on our stands.

Do you work as a sub-contractor?

Yes. A large part of our electrical work is sub-contracted to us by principal contractors, developers and network owners.

Are your jointers authorised?

Yes. Live LV jointing is done only by authorised jointers, trained per network. HV is always worked dead, without exception.

Can you reinstate the surface afterwards?

Yes — that is one of our core trades. Tar, paving, concrete and grass reinstated to municipal standard by our own crews.

Will you review our drawings before we book?

Yes, and we would prefer to. Flagging a problem bend or an unproved duct before the drum arrives saves everybody a day on site.

What areas do you cover?

Western Cape and Gauteng. For the right project we will travel further — ask.
