Tried and Tested: South Coast companies which have stood the test of time (1)

Lazer 911 Security – Crime fighters are a formidable force

With an impressive history spanning 34 years, this company’s approach to safety is widely attested to its holistic stance on security. What started as a three-man operation back in 1984, has now grown into a formidable force to be reckoned with.

Lazer 911 boasts a technologically-advanced, 24-hour alarm monitoring system, a large contingency of highly-trained security teams, dog units and a fleet of response vehicles, including medical response.
“We offer first-world security standards and solutions for the home, businesses, community, and organisations,” says owner Basil Lanka.

Lazer 911 has efficiently and consistently safeguarded local communities resulting in the protection of countless lives, properties and assets over the years and their credentials speak for themselves.
They scour the streets day and night, ever-vigilant to suspicious activity and their success has in part contributed to these preventative patrols coupled with a close liaison with SAPS.
“By sharing information and our expertise with the police, we maximise the chances of catching criminals,” says Basil.

He urges people to report any suspicious behaviour. “You don’t have to be one of our clients to receive assistance, we will answer your call and follow up, no matter who you are.”

Another vital component of their accomplishments is contributed to complex security systems that include volumetric perimeter beams for early warning of intruders, access control, closed circuit and CCTV coverage, all monitored by 24-hour control rooms with armed response personnel ready to respond at a moment’s notice. Go with a security company you can trust. The 24-hour call centre can be reached at 039 6820229. For more information visit the company’s website.

Mister Cool – Keeping your ‘world’ cool with the experts

Technical expertise? We are the only company on the KZN South Coast with six registered gas practitioners. (For verification visit saqccgas.co.za) For example, as it is illegal to use an electrician who is not registered with the Department of Labour and does not have his wireman’s licence – same applies to air conditioning and refrigeration).

Our technical team is headed by Chris Behrens who is a qualified trade tested technician, and we are the best choice for value, quality, pricing and service. We only sell air conditioners that meet the new energy efficiency ratings with country-wide spares back-up. Can you trust all BTU ratings? No!!!!! Not all air conditioners comply. This can lead to excessive power consumption and premature failure of the compressor.

Engel & Völkers – Real estate is not for the faint-hearted

Engel & Völkers in Ramsgate was established by Natalie Herbert in 2012, but she comes with more than 30 years of vast knowledge and experience in the property field. ” I’ve been selling property here on the South Coast for 21 years,” says Natalie. “It is important for buyers and sellers to check that the agents they work with are registered. Only once an intern has passed their NQF4 exam can they actually close a deal. Estate agents also need to get a CPD qualification every year and evaluated every three years to remain valid in the industry.

“I have been in this business a long time and have seen agents come and go. I feel really blessed to be where I am today and believe in a positive attitude,” said Natalie. “There are big changes happening,” she added. “The Property Practitioners Bill is currently waiting to be signed off by the President. Any agents who do not have a Fidelity Fund Certificate will not get a commission.” Natalie believes success does not come easily. It requires dedication, hard work and honesty.
