Cape Town Home Repairs: Questions Homeowners Ask
What should I send with a quote request?
Send the suburb, a short description of the problem, rough measurements in m² where you have them, and two or three photos: the damage, the area around it and, for a roof or geyser, the roof space if it is safe to look.
Is there a site visit before the quote?
Yes. Roof, ceiling, bathroom, geyser and leak work is quoted after a site visit, because the cause and the measurements set the price.
What must a written estimate show?
Under the Consumer Protection Act regulations, an estimate gives a breakdown and the total, the nature and extent of the work, and how long the quote is valid.
Can the final bill be higher than the estimate?
Only if you agree. CPA section 15(4) bars charging more than the estimate unless you are told the additional estimated charges and authorise the work to continue.
Which areas are quoted?
The City of Cape Town: the Atlantic Seaboard and City Bowl, Southern Suburbs, South Peninsula, Northern Suburbs, Blouberg, Table View and Milnerton, the Helderberg and the Cape Flats.
