Hiring a plumber in South Africa

Tips to help you find the right professional

Check IOPSA registration

IOPSA-registered plumbers meet industry standards and can issue PIRB Certificates of Compliance required for geyser installations under SANS 10254.

Get a written quote first

Reputable plumbers provide written quotes before starting work. Be wary of anyone who won't commit to a price upfront, especially for emergency call-outs.

Ask about compliance certificates

Only Licensed Plumbers can issue compliance certificates. If you're doing geyser work, drain installations, or plumbing renovations, you'll need one.

Check for liability insurance

Water damage from plumbing work can be expensive. Confirm your plumber has contractors' liability insurance before they start.
