Why Compliance in Century City Is Different
Business Park & Commercial Compliance
Office parks, call centres and retail units around Sable Square and Bridgeways need commercial Electrical and Gas COCs, not just residential ones — and we handle both.
Canal-Front Estates & Body Corporates
Many Century City homes sit inside managed estates and sectional title schemes, where compliance covers both your own unit and shared common property — we work directly with trustees and managing agents.
New-Build Solar & Inverter Retrofits
A young suburb with a high rate of solar and battery installs added since load-shedding began — every one of them legally needs its own Certificate of Compliance, which we issue on the spot.
Electrical Certificate of Compliance in Century City
Thermo Compliance carries out Electrical Certificate of Compliance inspections throughout Century City, from the canal-front estates around Sunset Links and Roggebaai Canal to the office blocks and retail units of the Business Park. Because so much of Century City was built from the late 1990s onward, the wiring itself is generally younger and better documented than in Cape Town’s older suburbs — but a valid COC is still a legal requirement before any property transfer, and estate agents and conveyancers here ask for it early in the process.
Sectional title living is the norm in much of Century City, and that changes what “compliance” actually covers. Your own unit needs its own Electrical COC, but the body corporate is also responsible for the common property — entrance gates, communal lighting, lift motor rooms and shared distribution boards. We work with both individual owners and managing agents, and can coordinate a full-block inspection where it makes sense.
On the commercial side, offices, showrooms and retail units at Sable Square, Bridgeways Precinct and the wider Business Park each need their own Electrical COC for a new lease, a fit-out, or a change of tenant. Our electricians are used to working around live business hours and can schedule inspections outside trading times where required.
Solar & Inverter Compliance Certificates in Century City
Century City has one of the highest concentrations of solar PV and battery/inverter installations in Cape Town — a combination of newer homes built with panel-ready roofs, security estates with backup-power requirements, and a Business Park full of companies that can’t afford downtime during load-shedding. What a lot of homeowners and facilities managers don’t realise is that South African law requires its own Certificate of Compliance for any grid-tied solar PV or inverter installation, separate from your general Electrical COC.
If your system feeds back into the grid, the installation should also be registered with the City of Cape Town under its Small-Scale Embedded Generation (SSEG) process, and a valid Solar COC is typically part of what that registration requires. We inspect and certify both new solar/inverter installations and existing systems that were never properly signed off — a common finding on homes that added panels themselves during a load-shedding stage upgrade.
Whether you need a Solar COC ahead of a sale, a certificate for an installation that’s a few years old, or the installation itself — new panels, inverter upgrades, battery backup — our registered team can quote, install and certify the work as one project, so nothing falls through the gap between installer and inspector.

Plumbing, Gas, Beetle & Electric Fence Compliance
Beyond electrical and solar work, Thermo Compliance issues the full range of Certificates of Compliance that Century City property owners need. Our Plumbing (Water) COC inspections check geysers, pipework and drainage in both freestanding homes and sectional title units. Our Gas Certificate of Compliance covers gas hobs, gas geysers and LPG installations, common in the area’s newer kitchens. A Beetle (Wood Destroying Organism) Certificate is often required before transfer, and where a property sits inside one of Century City’s secured estates with perimeter electric fencing, we issue the required Electric Fence COC as well.
Every certificate is backed by a proper inspection, clear reporting, and repairs carried out by our own qualified team where needed — so you’re never left holding a list of defects with no one to fix them.
We Know Century City
Century City was built from reclaimed wetland into one of Cape Town’s newest mixed-use hubs — home to Canal Walk, one of the largest shopping centres in the country, the Ratanga Junction theme park, and Intaka Island, an urban wetland nature reserve with over 120 recorded bird species right in the middle of the suburb. Canal-front homes, gated estates, a major corporate Business Park and easy N1 access to the CBD all sit within a few kilometres of each other — which is exactly why compliance work here needs a team that understands both a sectional title estate and a call-centre office block. We service Century City, Sable Square, Bridgeways, Sunset Links and the surrounding canal precinct as part of our regular coverage area.
Century City Compliance FAQs
Do I need a COC to sell my property in Century City?
Yes. An Electrical Certificate of Compliance is required before transfer, and your conveyancing attorney will usually request it early in the process. If your property also has solar, gas, an electric fence, or you’d like a beetle inspection, those certificates can be arranged at the same time.
Century City has a lot of newer sectional title and canal-side developments — does that change the inspection?
Not fundamentally, though body corporate coordination for shared areas and canal-side access sometimes adds a step. We regularly inspect units and canal-front homes across Century City and work directly with trustees or managing agents where needed.
Do you also certify solar installations in Century City?
Yes. We issue Solar Certificates of Compliance alongside standard electrical COCs, and we also maintain and fault-find solar systems that need servicing — installed by us or by another company.
Yes. Each individual unit needs its own Electrical COC, separate from any compliance work covering the block’s common property. We regularly work with body corporates and managing agents to inspect both in one visit.
Yes. Any grid-tied solar PV or inverter installation legally requires its own Solar/Electrical Certificate of Compliance, separate from your general electrical COC. This applies whether the system is brand new or was installed a few years ago without being signed off.
Yes. Commercial units need a valid Electrical COC for a new lease, a fit-out, or a change of tenant, the same as a residential property does for a sale. We can schedule inspections around trading hours.
Most residential inspections take one to three hours depending on the size of the property. Larger homes, full sectional title blocks, or commercial units may take longer — we’ll give you a time estimate when you book.
Yes. If defects are found, we provide a quote for the required repairs and can carry them out using our own qualified team, then re-inspect and issue the certificate once the property complies.
