Skyriders Cape
Skyriders was established in 1985 in Johannesburg, when it was the first rope access company in South Africa, with David Evans being one of the 2 members in the close corporation. In 1997, David moved to Cape Town and started Skyriders Cape, which became an entirely separate entity shortly thereafter. David remains the sole member and CEO of Rope Access Painters CC t/a Skyriders Cape.
Skyriders Cape began as a small enterprise for the first 3 years, where David personally performed all requirements of the business. The business underwent a steady organic growth driven by excellent service and “word of mouth” marketing, to where it now employs 80 full time workers and has a further 60 part time employees available for large projects.

Thank you once again for both your excellent service as well as your “after sales” service. It was a pleasure dealing with you & your staff.
With kind regards
Many thanks. May I say at the same time that the building is looking SO much better, and in all it seems your Team has made a very good job of making us look like a Princess instead of a Cinderella!
Thank you. I must also compliment you on the way your men tidy up before leaving. This is a rare treat – and you have set an awesome standard for the future!
The trustees wish to express their thanks for completing the redecoration of La Camargue within the contracted time and price. We understand from Plascon that the work was carried out in accordance with their quality requirements.
Your staff on site under the supervision of your foreman, Sonwabo, were at all times friendly and attended to their job in a diligent manner. David Evans managed the work effectively and in a professional manner.
The Body Corporate of Vredefort were more than satisfied with Skyriders performance. We found the staff and management and in particular, David Evans and the project manager, to be highly capable and Vredefort can recommend Skyriders for any similar undertaking.
The painting project has proved to be an outstanding success and the contractors “Sky Riders “gave us a keen price, did an excellent job and were most professional.
We did not have one moment’s trouble and they were a pleasure to work with.
The building is looking good and should be fine for the next few years.
