Every certificate we issue in Lansdowne
Thermo Compliance, a division of Thermo Group, inspects and issues electrical, plumbing (water), gas, beetle, electric fence and solar PV compliance certificates in Lansdowne. Tell us what your property has and we book the inspections you need, in one visit where possible.
Electrical compliance certificate (electrical COC) in Lansdowne
An electrical COC confirms that the electrical installation on your property, including the wiring, distribution board and earthing, was inspected and tested against the national wiring standard, SANS 10142-1. It is the certificate asked for most often when a property is sold, transferred, let or insured. If faults are found we quote the repairs, and the certificate is issued once they are fixed.
With Thermo Group: from R550 for a house and R480 for a flat on a cash sale, and from R680 for a house and R550 for a flat on a transfer. Each extra certificate booked for the same property is R50 less.
Plumbing (water) compliance certificate in Lansdowne
A plumbing COC, also called a water certificate of compliance, confirms that the water installation on your property (pipes, geyser, valves and fixtures) has been inspected and meets the City of Cape Town requirements. The City requires one when a property is transferred, so most sellers need it alongside the electrical certificate.
With Thermo Group: from R550 for a house and R480 for a flat on a cash sale, and from R680 for a house and R550 for a flat on a transfer. Each extra certificate booked for the same property is R50 less.
Gas compliance certificate (gas COC) in Lansdowne
A gas COC is issued after a qualified inspector checks that the gas installation on your property meets the legal safety requirements. If your property has gas installed, the sale agreement or your conveyancer will usually ask for a gas certificate. A portable gas braai or camping stove is not a fixed installation.
With Thermo Group: from R550 for a house and R480 for a flat on a cash sale, and from R680 for a house and R550 for a flat on a transfer. Each extra certificate booked for the same property is R50 less.
Beetle certificate in Lansdowne
A beetle certificate is a wood borer (beetle) inspection report. An inspector checks the accessible timber in your property, such as roof timbers, and reports on any beetle activity. It is usually a condition in the sale agreement rather than a legal requirement, so check your agreement or ask your agent or conveyancer.
With Thermo Group: from R550 for a house and R480 for a flat on a cash sale, and from R680 for a house and R550 for a flat on a transfer. Each extra certificate booked for the same property is R50 less.
Electric fence certificate of compliance in Lansdowne
An electric fence COC is issued after a qualified inspector checks that the electric fence system on your property meets the legal safety requirements. If your property has an electric fence, the sale agreement or your conveyancer will usually ask for a fence certificate. Electric fence certificates are for houses.
With Thermo Group: for a house from R550 on a cash sale and from R680 on a transfer. Each extra certificate booked for the same property is R50 less.
Solar PV certificate of compliance in Lansdowne
A solar COC confirms that the solar PV and battery installation on your property has been inspected and meets the safety requirements. It is usually asked for when you sell a property with a solar system, for insurance, or when your system needs municipal approval.
With Thermo Group: from R550 for a house and R480 for a flat on a cash sale, and from R680 for a house and R550 for a flat on a transfer. Each extra certificate booked for the same property is R50 less.
Lansdowne: what to know before you book a certificate
Lansdowne is a Southern Suburbs neighbourhood east of the M5, about 10 km from the city centre, close to Claremont, Rondebosch East, Wetton, Kenwyn and Athlone, and served by Lansdowne railway station. It falls under the City of Cape Town, so the City water installation certificate applies when a property is transferred.
Selling, buying or letting in Lansdowne
Whatever type of property you are selling, buying or letting, the certificates you need depend on what is installed and what your sale or lease agreement says. Most transfers need an electrical certificate and a plumbing (water) certificate, plus gas, electric fence, beetle or solar certificates where those apply.
Landlords and tenants
If you let out a house, flat or room, an up-to-date electrical certificate protects both you and your tenant and is often asked for by letting agents and insurers. Call us and we will tell you what to book.

Where Certificates Come Up In Lansdowne
Lansdowne lies east of the M5, bordered by Rondebosch East, Crawford, Wetton, Claremont, Kenwyn and Athlone, and it has a settled, long-established feel. Many families have lived here for a long time, which means properties often change hands through ordinary sales as well as between relatives. In every case where the property is sold, the law requires an Electrical Certificate of Compliance before transfer.
Rental is the second big driver. Houses with backrooms and flats on small erven are common, and landlords or agents commonly ask for a current certificate before a new tenant moves in. Insurers can also request one, especially after a claim or when a policy is renewed on an older property, so it is worth having a recent certificate on file.
Lansdowne also has a good number of non-residential buildings, including shops on the main roads, schools, halls, mosques and churches. A committee or trustees looking after one of these buildings may need a certificate for insurance, a lease, a funding application or simply because an inspection found a fault last year. Gas appliances, electric fences and timber roofs bring their own certificates alongside the electrical one.
Whoever is asking, the best first step is the same: tell us what the property is, who occupies it, and what paperwork the agent, insurer or committee has requested.
Trustees and managing agents also tell us that the paperwork is rarely the hard part. The delay usually comes from not knowing which certificate a bank, insurer or buyer actually wants, so a short call before booking, with the document request in hand, can save a second inspection later in the process.
Typical Findings On Older Lansdowne Properties
Houses on compact plots tend to have been altered more than once, and the electrical installation reflects it. Inspectors commonly find extensions fed from the nearest socket instead of their own circuit, old boards with no earth leakage protection, joints made in ceiling spaces without proper junction boxes, and bonding that is missing or incomplete.
Shops and halls show a different pattern. Boards can be overcrowded, with circuits added over the years and no up-to-date labelling. Extension leads are sometimes used as permanent wiring, and heavy appliances such as geysers, urns and cold rooms may be on cable that is too light. Outdoor lights and signage are exposed to the weather and often show signs of damp.
- Additions powered from a socket, plug adaptor or extension lead
- Boards with missing or non-working earth leakage protection
- Overloaded circuits on shop and hall boards
- Geysers and heavy appliances on undersized cable
- Exposed fittings and signage with damp damage
Booking And Preparing For The Inspection
Phone 021 203 5337 or complete the form on this page for a quote, with no call-out fee and no obligation. The estimator on this page gives a ballpark figure for a standard home, and we confirm the price for larger or non-residential premises once we know how many boards and outbuildings there are.
The inspector tests all circuits, checks the board, protection devices, bonding and visible wiring, and notes anything that does not comply. A clean installation receives the certificate. If defects are found, you get a clear list and a quote for repairs, and our electricians can carry out the work and arrange the re-test.
For rentals, give us the agent or tenant contact so access can be arranged. For halls, mosques and churches, ask a committee member to be present so every room, storeroom and roof access is open, and pick a time when the building is not in use. Homeowners should clear access to the meter box and ceiling hatch beforehand.

Nearby Areas We Also Serve Around Lansdowne
I inherited a house in Lansdowne and want to sell. Do I need a COC?
If the property is being sold, an Electrical Certificate of Compliance is legally required before transfer, whoever the owner is. We can inspect the house, list defects, repair them and issue the certificate.
Can a committee order a certificate for a mosque or church hall?
Yes. We usually need a committee member present to open every room and roof space. Tell us whether there is a geyser, kitchen or sound system so we know which circuits to test and can allow enough time.
The tenant in my backroom flat is worried about the inspection. What should I tell them?
Explain that the visit is routine and only needs access to rooms, sockets and the board. We can arrange a time that suits them, and the inspector will not need to move personal belongings.
Does my shop need a certificate for its fridges and signage?
Shop wiring, including fridge circuits and signage supplies, forms part of the installation inspected for a certificate. Landlords and insurers frequently ask for one, so check your lease and policy and tell us what has been requested.
What happens if the inspection finds problems?
You receive a written list of defects with a repair quote. After the work is done, the installation is tested again and the certificate is issued. You approve everything before work starts, and asking for a quote carries no obligation.
Do roofs in this area need a beetle certificate?
It depends on the building. Buyers and agents often request a beetle certificate where roofs or floors are timber. If your agent has asked for one, we can arrange it alongside the electrical inspection.
Is a plumbing certificate part of the same visit?
It is a separate inspection by a registered plumber, but we can coordinate it with the electrical one. Give us the address and tell us which certificates the agent or bank has requested so we can book both.
How far in advance should I book?
As soon as you know a certificate is needed. Booking early leaves time to repair any defects and re-test before a transfer date, lease start or insurance deadline. A late booking is the usual reason for delays.
