A Suburb Of Rentals, Investors And Short Stays
Brooklyn lies close to the city, with the M5 running through it and the N1 just to the south, and the Black River winding through a section of the suburb. It was developed in part as early low-cost housing, and its closeness to Air Force Base Ysterplaat gives it a long aviation association. Today the housing includes apartments, townhouses and houses, with named complexes and a number of properties used as short-term lets. A suburb with that profile generates a steady stream of certificate requests.
Investors and landlords are the largest group. A rental unit changes hands or tenants often, and agents commonly require a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance before a new tenant moves in. When a unit is sold, the certificate is a legal requirement for the transfer, and the conveyancer will ask for it. Owners who run a flat as a short-term let may also find that insurers or platforms expect proof that the electrics have been inspected, although the exact rules depend on the insurer.
Because many units are in sectional title schemes, there is a split of responsibility. The owner is responsible for the installation inside the unit, and the body corporate looks after common areas such as passage lighting, shared pumps and gates. If you own a unit, ask your managing agent what they need before you book.
Inspecting Older Flats, Townhouses And Business Units
Properties of different ages sit side by side in Brooklyn, and the issues vary accordingly. In older flats and houses, we often find boards that were never upgraded, with no earth leakage protection and circuits that have been extended over the years. In complexes, tenants sometimes change appliances without telling anyone, which can lead to overloaded circuits. Short-term let units tend to be heavily used, so worn sockets, damaged cords and loose connections can accumulate quickly.
Common defects we look for include:
- Distribution boards without working earth leakage protection.
- Exposed or damaged wiring, loose plugs and cracked switch plates.
- Geyser isolators and wiring that have overheated or corroded.
- Missing labelling at the board, which hides which circuit feeds what.
- Additions such as air conditioners or extra points without a proper circuit.
Brooklyn also has a commercial side, with business parks and retail centres close to the N1 and M5 junction. Tenants and owners of commercial units may need a certificate when a lease begins or ownership changes. Commercial boards, three-phase supply and heavier equipment need longer inspections, so describe the premises when you book. If a unit has a gas installation, such as a kitchen, a separate gas certificate is needed, and an electric fence also has its own certificate.
Booking, Access And Getting It Done
Call 021 203 5337 and tell us what the certificate is for, how many units are involved and who holds the key. That last point matters, because access is the most common cause of delay with rentals. If the tenant is in occupation, we can arrange a time with them, and if the unit is empty, we can collect keys from your agent by arrangement.
A qualified electrician tests the board, the circuits, the earthing and the protection devices, and inspects visible wiring. If the installation passes, we issue the certificate. If it does not, you receive a clear list of defects and a written quote to fix them. The quote carries no obligation, and you can choose whether to use us for repairs.
Investors with several units can ask us to inspect them in one visit, which saves time and keeps your records in order. Estate agents managing portfolios of rentals can ask about regular scheduling, so that certificates are renewed before a lease turns over. Thermo Group also carries out the repair work, from DB board upgrades to rewiring and earth leakage, so there is no need to find a second contractor.

I let my Brooklyn flat to tenants. Do I need a certificate?
Rental agents and landlords commonly require a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance before a tenant moves in, and insurers often ask for one. It is legally required when you sell the unit.
Does a short-term let need an electrical certificate?
Platforms and insurers may ask for proof that the electrics have been inspected, and the unit still needs a certificate for sale. Check your insurer’s terms. We can inspect and issue the certificate either way.
Who is responsible for the electrics in a sectional title unit?
The owner is generally responsible for the installation inside the unit, and the body corporate for common areas. Ask your managing agent what documentation they require before you book the inspection.
Can you inspect several units on one visit?
Yes. We can inspect and certify multiple units one after another, issuing a separate certificate for each. Give us unit numbers and key arrangements when you book so access does not delay the visit.
Can you do a commercial unit near the N1?
Yes. Commercial units often have three-phase boards and heavier equipment, so the inspection takes longer. Tell us the type of premises and size when booking so we plan the visit properly.
What if the tenant is not available?
We can arrange a time with the tenant, or collect keys from your agent if you authorise it. Power is usually off briefly at the board, so tenants should be told in advance.
What if the unit fails?
You receive a clear explanation and a written quote for repairs. If you choose to go ahead, we fix the faults and issue the certificate. You are free to use another contractor for the repair if you prefer.
Can the same visit cover plumbing and gas certificates?
Often, yes. Thermo Compliance issues electrical, plumbing, gas, electric fence and beetle certificates. Tell us what the property has, such as a gas hob, so we can arrange the right inspections together.
