Electrical Certificates (COC)

Electrical Certificates (COC) is one of the jobs our teams are called out for most often across Gauteng. Over 15 years we have refined the process down to something predictable: an honest assessment, a written price before anyone picks up a tool, and a technician who leaves the site cleaner than they found it.

A Certificate of Compliance confirms that an electrical installation has been inspected and tested against SANS 10142-1 by a registered person. It is legally required when a property is sold, and it is frequently requested by insurers.

We do not issue certificates without inspecting, and we do not fail installations to manufacture work. You get an honest inspection, a clear list of anything that must be fixed, and a valid certificate once the installation complies.

Why electrical certificates (COC) matters

Safety is the part clients rarely see. Correct cable sizing, protection, earthing and mounting on electrical certificates (COC) is what keeps a small fault a small fault. It is also the difference between compliant work and work that will fail an inspection at the worst possible moment.

What’s included

Inspection and testing by a registered person
Certificates for sale, transfer and insurance
Honest reporting with no manufactured faults
Quick turnaround for property deadlines
Remedial work quoted before it is done

A burning smell near the board, a plug point or a light fitting

How we handle electrical certificates (COC)

1. Free assessment and written quote

We attend site, inspect what is actually there, and quote electrical certificates (COC) in writing with the parts, labour and any compliance work itemised. No deposit is required to get a price.

2. Scheduling that suits you

Once you approve the quote we book a slot — including after-hours and weekend work where a business cannot afford downtime — and confirm the arrival window by phone or WhatsApp the day before.

3. The work itself

A qualified technician carries out the electrical certificates (COC) to SANS standards using correctly rated materials. Drop sheets go down, the area is protected, and anything unexpected is raised with you before extra cost is incurred.

4. Testing, handover and paperwork

We test the completed work under load, walk you through what was done, and issue your invoice, warranty details and — where the job requires it — a Certificate of Compliance.

What affects the price of electrical certificates (COC)

Anyone quoting electrical certificates (COC) sight-unseen is guessing. These are the factors that genuinely move the number on our quotations:

Cable length, routing and whether chasing into walls is required
Single-phase versus three-phase supply and the rating of the circuit
Condition of the existing DB board and whether an upgrade is needed
Quality and rating of the protective devices and fittings specified
Whether a Certificate of Compliance forms part of the scope
Access, working at height, and whether the site must stay live

Our guarantee

If something we installed fails within the guarantee period we come back and make it right — no argument, no callout fee.
