Frequently asked questions
Do you provide a written quote before starting work?
Yes. All quotes are submitted in writing through TruePro before any work begins — no verbal agreements, no surprises.
How does payment work?
Your payment is held securely in escrow on TruePro and only released to us once you're satisfied with the completed work. You're protected from start to finish.
Are you insured?
Yes, we carry public liability insurance. Our insurance certificates are independently verified by TruePro.
Do you provide a guarantee on your work?
Yes. All workmanship is guaranteed. If something isn't right, contact us and we'll return to fix it at no additional charge.
What areas do you cover?
Our service area is shown on our profile page. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, send us a message and we'll confirm.
Do you offer emergency plumbing services?
Yes, we offer emergency call-outs for burst pipes, severe leaks, and blocked drains. Contact us directly to confirm availability.
Can you issue a Certificate of Compliance (COC)?
Yes. We issue Electrical Certificates of Compliance for property sales, insurance requirements, solar installations, and new DB board work.
Are you LPGSA registered?
Yes, all our gas installation work is carried out by LPGSA-registered installers and we issue Certificates of Compliance (CoC) for every installation.
What size solar system do I need?
It depends on your daily electricity usage and budget. We offer a free site assessment and load analysis to recommend the right system for your home or business.
How often should I service my air conditioner?
We recommend a professional service every 12 months to maintain efficiency, prevent breakdowns, and keep the warranty valid.
Are you PSIRA registered?
Yes, our technicians are PSIRA-registered as required for all security installations in South Africa.
Do you supply the paint, or do I need to?
We can supply paint as part of the job or work with paint you've purchased. We'll advise on the best products for your surfaces and budget.
Do you repair leaking roofs?
Yes, we repair all types of roof leaks — IBR, corrugated iron, tiles, and flat roofs. We provide a full inspection and written report before any work begins.
Do you do one-off jobs, or do you require a maintenance contract?
Both. We're happy to help with one-off repairs or to set up a regular maintenance schedule for your property.
Are your plumbers registered with PIRB?
Yes, our plumbers are qualified and registered with the Plumbing Industry Registration Board (PIRB) as required by South African law.
Can you install solar panels and backup power?
Yes, we design and install solar PV systems, battery storage, inverters, and generator transfer switches for load-shedding resilience.
Do you detect and repair gas leaks?
Yes. We use calibrated gas leak detection equipment to locate leaks quickly and safely. We also carry out all repairs and re-test before reinstatement.
Do solar systems work during load-shedding?
Yes — a grid-tied system with battery storage will keep your essential appliances running during load-shedding and power failures.
Which air conditioning brands do you service?
We service and install most major brands including Daikin, LG, Samsung, Gree, Midea, and Carrier. Contact us if you have a specific brand.
Do you integrate with armed response companies?
Yes. We can connect your alarm system to any major armed response provider in your area.
How long does exterior painting take?
It depends on the size of the property and weather conditions. We'll give you a realistic timeline in the quote.
Can you repair a geyser, or does it need to be replaced?
We'll inspect the geyser and give you an honest recommendation. Many faults — thermostats, elements, pressure valves — can be repaired at a fraction of replacement cost.
Do you do after-hours electrical fault call-outs?
Yes, we handle after-hours electrical emergencies including total power failures, tripping breakers, and safety hazards. Contact us for availability.
Why is a gas CoC important?
A Certificate of Compliance is required by law for all new gas installations and when selling a property. Without one, your insurance may be invalid.
