The Crags Encore Maintenance Crew, is a neat and hard-working team.

When Crags Encore does an inspection of the internal and external areas of your property, the team will check for any damages, security risks, and also make sure that all appliances and alarm systems are working.

Any problems will immediately be reported to the owner of the property. Once the quotation for the repair has been approved by the owner, we will go ahead and rectify the problem. If Crags Encore is unable to attend to the maintenance issue, we would be happy to arrange and oversee the repairs and maintenance done by another company.

Our Maintenance team also does a Builders clean up if required.

All services are performed upon request and approval of Quotation supplied by Crags Encore.

In the last two days we have had three interesting Kelp Gull ring recoveries. The first report came in from Safring on Monday, of a young gull found dead on 23 February 2016 at the Port Elizabeth Harbour, by Greg Hofmeyr. This bird had been ringed as a chick by Mark on 12 December 2014 as part of our gull ringing program.

The second report came in yesterday from Safring, of a young gull found on Wilderness Beach andtaken to Dr Rolf Lamprecht with a swallowed fish hook on 29 February 2016. It died on route to his clinic. This one had been ringed by Mark as a chick on 2 December 2013.

The last one was found on the gull breeding colony in plett by Mark while on site with Mark Anderson and Mike Bridgeford. This adult gull was ringed as a chick by Johan Huiseman of Cape Nature in the Plett colony on 18 November 2002!
