Start with your suburb and the scope of work
Cape Town enquiries need a precise location. Include the suburb as well as the street address, and explain whether you need a repair visit or a quotation for a larger installation. For a flat or business premises, share parking, building-access and permitted work times when arranging the visit.
For an urgent leak, call 082 078 8091 to discuss the situation and attendance. For planned work, photographs and a written brief give us a useful starting point. We confirm the arrangements for the specific address before a visit is booked. See all HWS plumbing services for the types of work we handle.
A Cape Town hot-water installation in our project journal
Our Cape Town heat-pump project records an installation for a homeowner whose property had two geysers and an existing solar PV system. HWS installed a 500-litre tank and a 6.3 kW heat pump as part of that property's hot-water arrangement. The journal includes photographs and the installation brief.
For your own property, send the current geyser or hot-water equipment details and explain how many bathrooms and outlets the system serves. Share any future additions or renovation plans so they can be considered together. Explore solar geysers and heat pumps and our heat-pump or geyser guide before discussing the appropriate installation.
Renovation plumbing that fits the rest of the build
Send a plan showing the present and proposed locations of basins, toilets, showers and kitchen fittings. Include appliance connections and any fixture specifications already selected. We discuss the supply, drainage and access required, and how the plumbing work fits with cabinetry, tiling and the other trades.
Clarify who handles removal, opening surfaces and reinstatement in the quotation brief. For occupied premises, explain which facilities need to remain usable while the work is arranged. Our bathroom and kitchen plumbing service and kitchen renovation checklist help you prepare.
A property repair or a municipal service fault?
When reporting low pressure or a loss of supply, tell us whether it affects one outlet, the whole property or neighbouring properties as well. An assessment may be needed to identify the cause. Suspected municipal water or sewer faults can be reported through the City of Cape Town's service-request channels. Keep any municipal reference number alongside your observations.
For leaks, fixtures and other plumbing work at your property, send HWS a quotation or repair enquiry. Include the Cape Town suburb, photographs, access contact and preferred timing.
