For estate agents in the Southern Suburbs

One call. One team.
Every certificate.

Plumbing, electrical, gas and beetle inspected in one visit, at a time that suits the seller, with a photo report in your inbox by 11am the next day.

Compliance certificates for property transfers

Every certificate a transfer needs, arranged by us

You make one call. We work out which certificates the property needs and book everyone for the same visit.

Plumbing

The water installation certificate, required on transfer in the City of Cape Town.

Electrical

Required on every transfer, and done by our own team.

Gas

Needed wherever gas appliances are installed.

Beetle

Usually a condition of the sale, especially near the coast.

Solar geysers and heat pumps are specialist PIRB categories that not every plumber may certify. Our plumber is registered for both. Need an electric fence certificate as well? Ask when you call.

How a transfer runs with us

From first call to certificates, in the order it happens

Built around what agents told us slows transfers down.

  1. You make one call

    One call does it all: we arrange the plumbing, electrical, gas and beetle inspections.

    We book a time that suits the seller, Saturdays included.

  2. The team inspects together

    On the day, everyone arrives together, so there's one gate code and one visit.

    The inspection is free and usually takes about an hour.

  3. Your photo report arrives

    You get a date- and time-stamped photo report by 11am the next day.

  4. Repairs, done together

    Our quote is itemised: every part, every hour and the labour rate.

    For the repairs, the team arrives together again, at your time.

  5. Certificates and invoice

    You receive the certificates, a post-work report and an itemised invoice that matches the quote. Payment on transfer can be arranged.

The report

What you'll have in your inbox by 11am

Something you can forward to the seller as it is, with nothing left to interpret.

  • Every item is marked compliant or non-compliant, against the SANS standard it's measured by.
  • Each finding has its own date- and time-stamped photo, taken on site in our own app.
  • If something needs fixing, the report explains exactly what's required to bring it into compliance.

Every plumbing certificate we issue is logged with the PIRB, and its QR code lets anyone verify it in seconds.

What clients say

In their own words, from our Google reviews.

Excellent service from start to finish. The whole COC process was handled incredibly quickly, professionally and efficiently. Communication was clear, everything was thorough, and the turnaround time was lightning fast. Reliable, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend their services.

Etienne and his team were quick and provided detailed reports. Hoping to make use of his services for many years to come as both of our businesses grow. He helped with a geyser / insurance replacement and CoCs for the sale of a house.

Costs, upfront

Nothing on the invoice you didn't see coming

  • The inspection is free, with no obligation to use us for the repairs.
  • There's one fixed price for the plumbing and electrical certificates, confirmed before we book.
  • Geyser covered by insurance? We match your insurer's rate, so you pay only your excess. The claim itself is between you and your insurer.

  • Our 12-month guarantee stays with the property, so it passes to the buyer.
