Simon’s Town has been a working harbour since Simon van der Stel first recognised it as the Cape’s safest winter anchorage in the 1740s, and it’s carried that naval heritage — and the architecture that comes with it — ever since. Between Victorian naval buildings, harbour-front cottages and newer homes further up the hillside, we’ve picked up a fair amount of Simon’s Town-specific experience over the years.
Notes From Our Team's Work Around Simon's Town
“A lot of the older homes near the harbour have had electrical work added in stages over decades — we regularly find two or three different eras of wiring on one property before we even get to the DB board.”
“Being this close to a working naval harbour means salt air and damp are a constant factor — outdoor sockets and geyser connections near the waterfront corrode faster than properties even a few streets back.”
“Several of the buildings we’ve worked on are heritage-listed or close to National Monuments, so any electrical or plumbing work has to respect the original structure — we plan around that rather than assuming a standard approach will work.”
One of the Cape’s Oldest Towns
Simon’s Town has been a naval town since the Royal Navy moved its main southern African base here in 1814, and the South African Navy has kept that tradition going ever since. Admiralty House, St Francis Church, Palace Barracks and the Martello Tower are all National Monuments, and that heritage runs right through the town’s Victorian-era streets, not just its naval buildings. We’ve worked on properties across that full range — from harbour-front cottages to newer homes up the hillside.
Heritage Buildings Need a Careful Hand
A good number of Simon’s Town properties are heritage-listed or sit close to National Monuments, which means compliance work needs to respect the original structure rather than take the fastest route to a pass. We plan installations around that from the start, so the certificate you get doesn’t come at the cost of the building’s character.
A Harbour Town, Salt Air Included
Being built around an active naval harbour means salt air and damp are part of daily life here, and they take a toll on outdoor electrical fittings, geyser connections and pool equipment faster than they would further inland. We pay particular attention to these areas on every Simon’s Town inspection.
Selling or Renting in Simon’s Town?
A property sale in South Africa generally requires a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance, plus Gas, Electric Fence and Water certificates where those installations exist. We work to the timelines a property transfer needs, heritage considerations included.
Full-Range Certificates We Issue in Simon’s Town
One team for all of it: Electrical Certificates of Compliance, Gas COCs, Electric Fence System COCs, Plumbing (Water) Compliance Certificates, Beetle (wood-borer) Certificates, and Solar PV installation and compliance sign-off.
Solar With a Harbour View
Solar installations in Simon’s Town come with their own considerations — heritage roofing, harbour-facing exposure, and in some cases conservation guidelines on what’s visible from the street. We test and certify the DB board, earthing and isolation on every system we sign off, and we work with the property’s character rather than against it.

My property is heritage-listed — can it still get a compliance certificate?
Yes. Heritage status affects how we carry out the work, not whether it’s possible. We plan installations to respect the original structure so the certificate doesn’t come at the cost of the building’s character.
Does being near the naval harbour actually affect an inspection?
Yes — salt air and damp from the harbour speed up corrosion on outdoor sockets, geyser connections and pool equipment, so we check those areas more closely than we would on a property further inland.
Our home has wiring from several different eras — is that a problem?
It’s common in Simon’s Town’s older properties, and it’s exactly what we check for. Multiple layers of past work don’t automatically fail an inspection, but they do need to all meet current standards.
Can I install solar on a heritage or conservation-area property?
Usually yes, though some properties have guidelines on what’s visible from the street. We work with the property’s character and, where relevant, help plan an installation that fits those constraints.
How does the process work if I’m selling?
You’ll generally need a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance, plus Gas, Electric Fence and Water certificates where applicable. We work to the timelines a property transfer needs.
How soon can I get booked in?
In most cases within a few working days. Fill in the booking form on this page and our office will confirm a time that works for you.
What happens if my property in Simon’s Town doesn’t pass the compliance inspection?
If any part of the installation doesn’t meet SANS 10142-1 standards, we provide a written schedule of defects with a clear, itemised quote to fix them. Once the repairs are done, we re-inspect your Simon’s Town property at no extra call-out charge and issue the Certificate of Compliance as soon as it passes.
Does a Certificate of Compliance cover my geyser, stove and other appliances in Simon’s Town?
A COC covers the fixed electrical installation — wiring, distribution boards, earthing, and the points appliances connect to — rather than the appliances themselves. So your geyser’s wiring, isolator switch and earthing are inspected, but a faulty geyser element or stove isn’t part of the COC. If you’d like your Simon’s Town property’s appliances tested at the same time, we’re happy to check those during the same visit.
Do I need a separate Certificate of Compliance for a granny flat or flatlet in Simon’s Town?
Yes — any self-contained flatlet, granny flat or cottage with its own electrical connection needs to be included in the compliance inspection, even if it shares a meter with the main house. We check the sub-circuit, isolator and earthing for the flatlet as part of the same Simon’s Town COC visit, so you get one certificate covering the whole property.
