A plumber near Scarborough who handles it without you there

Plumber near Scarborough in Kommetjie who sorts a rental. We send you the proof. Being close means we're there fast. The job comes back done and dusted.

Scarborough's water-saving rules still apply to every quote

Scarborough sits under the City's permanent water-saving rules. There's no restriction right now, but those rules never switched off. So a leaking toilet or a dripping cistern on your rental isn't just wasted water. It's a by-law matter.

By-laws shape how we quote. When your tenant flags a running loo or a slow leak, we don't patch and hope. We tell you what the fix actually costs, then do it once. Most homes here run on piped water inside the dwelling or the yard, so a hidden leak keeps ticking on the meter until someone stops it.

What this means for you: the quote covers the real fix, not a temporary one that lands you back here in a month. Working out that real cost doesn't always mean us standing in your bathroom either. For wider background, see Health aspects of plumbing (who.int).

Photo quotes and paperwork you don't need to be on site for

Most quotes never need us at your door. Your tenant sends us a photo on WhatsApp. We look, we ask a question or two, then we quote before anyone gets in a van.

That quote is the price you pay. No surprise on the invoice at the end. When the work's done we send before-and-after photos, so you can see the job without standing over it. The invoice matches the quote line for line, which is what you hand an owner or an insurer.

Worth knowing: if the job needs a certificate of compliance, that paperwork comes back to you too. Everything documented, nothing left for you to chase.

How we reach a rental in Scarborough from Muizenberg

Frequently asked questions

Does the City's water-saving by-law still affect plumbing work in Scarborough?

Yes. Scarborough falls under permanent water-saving rules in the City's Water By-law, even with no restriction on right now. So we don't patch a leaking toilet or dripping cistern and hope. We fix it properly and the quote covers the real job, not a repeat call-out.

Which road do you use to reach a rental property in Scarborough?

We come through from Muizenberg on Witsand Road in Scarborough, which the City marks as the M6 through the area. The M65 also links Scarborough to Kommetjie and continues on towards Simon's Town and Fish Hoek, so we've got a way in if traffic's bad on one route. Either way, you don't need to meet us there.

Scarborough falls under Subcouncil 19 in Fish Hoek. Does that change how a certificate of compliance gets handled?

No, it doesn't change what we do. Scarborough falls under Subcouncil 19, administered from an office in Fish Hoek but we sort the certificate the same way we do everywhere: we handle the paperwork and send it back to you, so you're not the one phoning around chasing it.

How do you quote a job in Scarborough if nobody's on site to let you in?

What drives the price is the actual fault: whether it's a leaking cistern, a burst pipe or something needing a compliance certificate, plus how much access work it takes. Your tenant sends us a photo on WhatsApp and we ask a question or two, then quote from that. To get a real number, send us the photo and gate details and we take it from there.
