Maybe not, but if you go to City of Cape Town website they are listed.

Website: https://www.capetown.gov.za/Family and home/residential-utility-services/residential-water-and-sanitation-services/Find-a-qualified-registered-plumber-in-Cape-Town
PDF showing them listed: https://resource.capetown.gov.za/documentcentre/Documents/Forms, notices, tariffs and lists/Plumbers_Register.pdf

I see not all municipalities require the PIRB.

They did say that they are registered with the city, but my report came from the PIRB, so they just stated that they are not registered with PIRB.
I'm sure they can do the job, so will get them for a quote. I'm more wondering about the difference in certification.

Maybe ask them why they are not with pirb.

So how/why did you get a report from pirb?

After my geyser was replaced last week, I got a report of non compliance. R1 cladding and pipes not fixed seems to be the biggest issues.

I don't think you'll get covers for those old conduits and junction boxes anymore. I would imagine that the only way to really fix it is by replacing the conduit and rewiring earth - which is a monumental undertaking.

I've used techno group before and was happy with their work. Having said that though, this just doesn't feel right.

In Cape Town I used Prinsloo & zeeman to waterproof my patio/sunroom.
Very happy with the work they did and I considered the cost very reasonable (replaced some beams and a lot of the corrugated plastic roof)
 
Hello,

Any recommendation for waterproofing slate roof and secondly Change slate to Roof tiles ,a contractor in Jhb South or Jhb.....looking at cost i know its depends on many factors size of roof
 
where do you buy your roof tiles builders , leroy , chamberlains or where for cheaper
