Plumbing, Gas, Beetle & Electric Fence Compliance in Sea Point
Beyond electrical work, Thermo Compliance issues the full range of Certificates of Compliance property owners in Sea Point need.

Our Gas Certificate of Compliance covers gas hobs, gas geysers and LPG installations common in the suburb’s renovated kitchens. A Beetle (Wood Destroying Organism) Certificate is often required before transfer on Sea Point’s older timber-floored apartments and Art Deco buildings.

Looking for a trusted and professional provider of Electrical Certificates of Compliance (COCs) in Sea Point, Cape Town?
Thermo Compliance provides professional electrical inspections, compliance testing, fault finding, repairs and Electrical Certificate of Compliance services for apartments, sectional title units and houses throughout Sea Point, from the Beach Road high-rises to the streets climbing up towards Fresnaye and Green Point.
Sea Point is one of the most densely built-up suburbs on the Atlantic Seaboard, dominated by mid-century apartment blocks that have stood along the Promenade since the 1950s and 60s. That mix of older buildings and an unusually high volume of sectional title sales means our compliance team ends up here more often than in almost any other Cape Town suburb.
Whether you’re an agent or seller needing a COC ahead of transfer on a Regent Road or Beach Road apartment, a body corporate arranging compliance work in a block’s shared meter room, or a homeowner near the Sea Point Pavilion wanting a backup power setup properly certified, Thermo Compliance can assist.

Electrical Inspections for Sea Point’s Apartment Blocks
Sea Point’s biggest compliance challenge isn’t wind or sand, it’s age and density. Many of the suburb’s apartment blocks were wired decades before today’s electrical regulations existed, and a lot of that original wiring, and the shared distribution boards feeding dozens of units, is now well past the point where a COC can simply be signed off without upgrade work.
Add to that Sea Point’s very high turnover of apartment sales and rentals, plus a growing number of owners installing balcony-mounted inverters and battery backup systems in response to load shedding, and each inspection has to account for both the building’s original infrastructure and whatever’s been added to it since. Where a solar or backup power system has been installed on a balcony or in a unit, we also check that it’s been wired and earthed correctly, since it’s rarely covered by the block’s original design.
Where common property is involved, such as a shared DB room or the building’s main supply, we’re used to working alongside body corporates and managing agents to get compliance work approved and completed with minimum disruption to other residents.
Buying or Selling a Property in Sea Point?
If you are selling an apartment or house in Sea Point, an Electrical Certificate of Compliance is required as part of the property transfer process, and given how frequently units here change hands, it’s one of the most common reasons we’re called out to the area.
Thermo Compliance can carry out a professional inspection of the electrical installation and provide a clear assessment of any items that require attention.
Where non-compliant or unsafe items are identified, our experienced electricians can carry out the necessary electrical repairs and upgrades. Once the required work has been completed and the installation meets the applicable requirements, the necessary Electrical Certificate of Compliance can be issued.
This allows you to deal with the inspection, repairs and compliance process through one professional electrical team.
Common Electrical Compliance Issues We Find in Sea Point
During an Electrical COC inspection in Sea Point, we regularly come across:
- Ageing wiring and shared distribution boards in mid-century apartment blocks
- Balcony or patio-mounted inverters and battery systems not correctly wired or earthed
- Corrosion of switchgear and outdoor points in units exposed to sea air along Beach Road
- Non-compliant electrical work from short-term rental and Airbnb conversions
- Missing or faulty earth leakage protection in older units
- Overloaded circuits in subdivided or repurposed apartments
- Plug point and lighting circuit faults in high-turnover rental units
- Outdated main switches and circuit breakers that no longer meet current standards
Each property and electrical installation is different, which is why a proper inspection is important before an Electrical Certificate of Compliance can be issued.
Electrical Repairs and Compliance Work in Sea Point
If faults or non-compliant items are identified during the inspection, Thermo Compliance can assist with the necessary electrical repairs and compliance work. Rather than simply identifying the problems, our qualified electricians carry out full installation and repair work for Sea Point properties, from Beach Road apartments to family homes on the slopes towards Fresnaye.
Electrical Installations
We install: new electrical wiring, plug points and lighting circuits, LED lighting upgrades, distribution board replacements and upgrades for older blocks, inverter and battery backup wiring for apartments, main electrical supplies and circuit breakers, and earth leakage and surge protection.
Electrical Repairs
Our electricians quickly diagnose and repair power failures, tripping breakers, earth leakage faults, faulty plug points and light fittings, ageing-wiring faults in older blocks, and balcony or outdoor electrical faults.
Solar Installation & Maintenance in Sea Point
Rooftop space in Sea Point is often shared or limited, since most properties are apartments rather than standalone houses, so many residents opt for battery and inverter backup systems rather than a full rooftop solar array. Where roof or garden space does allow it, particularly on houses higher up towards Fresnaye and Rocklands, Thermo Group offers complete solar solutions from installation through to ongoing maintenance.
For sectional title properties, we’re familiar with the body corporate approval process that installing solar or backup power on common property usually requires, and can help prepare the technical information needed for that sign-off.
Our solar and backup power services include solar PV installations, battery storage systems, hybrid inverter installations, backup power systems for apartments and houses, solar fault finding and servicing, panel cleaning and monitoring, and inverter and battery replacements.

What is an Electrical Certificate of Compliance (COC)?
An Electrical Certificate of Compliance (COC) is an official document issued by a registered electrical contractor confirming that a property’s electrical installation complies with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Electrical Installation Regulations. The certificate verifies that the installation was inspected and found to comply with the applicable safety standards at the time of the inspection.
When is an Electrical Certificate of Compliance required?
An Electrical Certificate of Compliance is generally required when a property is sold and ownership is transferred to a new owner. It may also be required after significant alterations or additions have been made to the electrical installation, such as installing a new distribution board, rewiring, or adding a solar photovoltaic (PV) system.
Who is responsible for obtaining the Electrical Certificate of Compliance?
In most property transfers, the seller is responsible for providing a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance before transfer can take place, unless the Offer to Purchase states otherwise. The conveyancing attorney will usually request the certificate as part of the transfer documentation.
How long is an Electrical Certificate of Compliance valid?
An Electrical Certificate of Compliance does not have a fixed expiry date. It remains valid provided that no changes, alterations, additions, or repairs have been made to the electrical installation after the certificate was issued. If modifications have been carried out, a new or supplementary certificate may be required for the affected work.
What is inspected during an Electrical COC inspection?
During an Electrical Certificate of Compliance inspection, a qualified electrician assesses the safety and compliance of the electrical installation. This may include inspecting:
- Distribution boards
- Earth leakage protection
- Circuit breakers
- Earthing and bonding
- Electrical wiring
- Plug points and switches
- Lighting circuits
- Main isolator
- Cable terminations
- Electrical connections
- Compliance labelling
- General safety of the installation
The purpose of the inspection is to identify any defects that could pose a safety risk or prevent compliance.
How long does an Electrical COC inspection take?
The duration of an inspection depends on the size and complexity of the property. Most residential inspections take between one and three hours. Larger homes or commercial properties may require additional time.
What happens if my property fails the inspection?
If non-compliant items are identified, the inspector will provide a report outlining the defects that must be corrected before the certificate can be issued. Once the required repairs have been completed, the installation is re-inspected, and the Electrical Certificate of Compliance can then be issued if all requirements have been met.
Can Thermo Compliance complete the repairs?
Yes. If defects are identified during the inspection, Thermo Compliance can provide a quotation for the required repairs and complete the remedial work using qualified electricians. Once the installation complies with the applicable regulations, the Electrical Certificate of Compliance can be issued.
Can I use my own electrician to carry out repairs?
Yes. You are free to appoint any suitably qualified and registered electrical contractor to complete the repairs. But because of problems we have had in the past with many electrical contractors that don’t carry out repairs correctly, Thermo Compliance will not sign off work that has been done by another contractor or company. It would also be better to get Thermo Compliance to carry out the repairs because our technicians have many years of compliance experience and it will also avoid you sitting with many problems and unresolved compliance issues. Because of our experience, technical ability, understanding of the laws and track record many still rate us as the best Certificate of Compliance Company in Cape Town!
Contact us, and we will make sure the process is smooth and stress free.
Will an older property automatically fail an Electrical COC inspection?
No. The age of a property does not determine whether it will pass or fail. Many older homes fully comply with the regulations because they have been properly maintained and upgraded over the years. The inspection focuses on whether the installation complies with the applicable regulations at the time of the inspection.
Can I sell my property without an Electrical Certificate of Compliance?
In most cases, no. The seller is generally required to provide a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance before the property transfer can be completed. Without the required certificate, the transfer process may be delayed until compliance has been achieved.
Does installing solar panels require a new Electrical Certificate of Compliance?
If a solar PV system has been added or significant alterations have been made to the electrical installation, a supplementary Electrical Certificate of Compliance may be required for the new work. The exact requirements depend on the nature of the installation and the existing electrical system.
What is a Supplementary Electrical Certificate of Compliance?
A Supplementary Electrical Certificate of Compliance is issued when additions or alterations have been made to an existing electrical installation that already has a valid certificate. It confirms that the newly installed or modified portion complies with the applicable regulations without replacing the original certificate for the rest of the installation.
Does an Electrical Certificate of Compliance guarantee that nothing will ever go wrong?
No. An Electrical Certificate of Compliance confirms that the electrical installation complied with the applicable regulations at the time it was inspected. Like any system, electrical installations require ongoing maintenance, and components may deteriorate or become damaged over time.
