FAQ

Questions we get asked

Not covered here? Send a WhatsApp — you will usually get a straight answer faster than filling in a form.

Which areas do you cover?

We are based in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town and service clients across the greater Cape Town area. If you are not sure whether you fall inside it, send us a WhatsApp with your suburb and we will tell you straight away.

What does a call out cost?

R 480 ex VAT, which covers the first half an hour. After that the call out fee falls away and the hourly rate of R 730 ex VAT applies. After hours and weekends are charged at the hourly rate and a half. Special discounts are applied for first time clients and jobs over 8 hours long.

Do you handle emergencies?

Yes. For a burst pipe, a burst geyser or no water, phone or WhatsApp 076 471 9341 rather than using the enquiry form — a form waits for someone to read it, a phone reaches us directly.

Is your work guaranteed?

Yes. David gives a six month guarantee on every job we do.

How and when do I pay?

Payment is due on delivery of service. An invoice is emailed and payment made via EFT, within 3 days of the completed job. Cash by arrangement, no card payments. Jobs over R2,000 require a 50% deposit with the balance due on completion.
