What Contractors Find
- Older homes. Rondebosch, Newlands, Kenilworth and Wynberg have many older houses where earth leakage, bonding and old DB boards need attention.
- Wet winters. Damp near the mountain affects outdoor plugs, DB boards and timber.
- Boreholes and wellpoints. Common in Constantia and Tokai. The water certificate checks for cross-connections.
- Rentals. Student and flat landlords need a valid electrical COC.
COC Certificate Cape Town sends your request to several contractors covering your area at once, so you can compare them on the same scope.
