What we mean by vetted

  • We speak to them firstEvery plumber we refer you to has had a real conversation with us before a single enquiry goes their way. That is a different thing from the IOPSA register on this site, which is a public list of accredited companies and most of the companies on it have never heard of us.
  • We check their public recordTheir existing reviews, their trading history and whether the business is who it says it is. If we cannot find any of it, we do not refer to them.
  • We stop referring to anyone who lets you downTell us what happened. If they let you down, we stop sending them work.

That is the whole list. We are not going to show you a badge for something we have not done, and we are not going to call a company vetted because it appears on somebody else's register.

Plumbers24 is not a plumbing company. We are a Gauteng referral service that puts you onto a vetted local plumber and stays out of the way. You deal with them directly and pay them directly.

What decides the price

Nobody can price a plumbing job off a phone call, and anyone who gives you a firm number before seeing it is guessing. What they can do is tell you what moves it. This is what actually decides the figure on your quote.

GeyserWhich part failed. A dead element, thermostat or pressure valve is a repair; only a cylinder that has rusted through is a replacement, and the difference between those two is most of the price. After that: the size, whether it is in the roof or a cupboard, and whether the tray, vacuum breakers and pipework have to be brought up to SANS 10254 while they are in there.
Blocked drainsWhether it clears with rods or a drain machine, or whether it needs a camera down the line and something dug up. Those are different jobs at different prices, and a good plumber will tell you which one he is on before he starts the second.
Burst and leaking pipesWhere the pipe runs. An accessible joint is quick; a pipe in a wall or under a slab means opening something up and making it good again, and the making-good is often the larger half.
Leak detectionWhether it is found acoustically or with a pressure test, or whether flooring has to come up. Ask for the finding and the fixing to be priced separately, so you are not agreeing to the second before anyone knows what it is.
Pressure pumpsWhich part failed. A pressure switch or recharging the pressure vessel is a small job; a new pump is not. Ask which part it is before agreeing to a replacement.
Anything after hoursA Sunday night call-out costs more than a Tuesday morning one, everywhere, always. If it can wait until the morning, say so and ask what that saves.

Worth asking, before you say yes

  1. Is the call-out charged separately, and does it come off the bill if I go ahead?
  2. Is that including VAT?
  3. Is this a fixed quote or an estimate that can move once you open it up? If it can move, by how much?
  4. Are you supplying the parts, and what is the guarantee on them?
  5. Will I get a Certificate of Compliance, and is it in the price?

What it costs: Geyser replacement · Unblocking a drain · Leak detection · Call-out fees · All of it

IOPSA-registered plumbers near Johannesburg

The Institute of Plumbing South Africa publishes a register of member companies so you can check one before you let it into your house. These are the entries listed closest to Johannesburg. It is a register, not a recommendation, and we have not worked with most of them. Their contact details are not on this site: message us and we pass your job to a plumber we have spoken to.

Questions people ask

Are you actually a plumbing company?

No, and we would rather say so upfront. Plumbers24 is a referral service. We take your details, pass the job to a vetted plumber near you, and they contact you directly. You deal with them and pay them, not us.

What does it cost me?

Nothing to be put in touch. You pay the plumber for the work, at the price they quote you before they start. We are paid by the plumber, not by you.

How fast can somebody get to me?

Honestly, it depends who is free. For an emergency like a burst pipe or a geyser coming through the ceiling we start looking the moment you message, and we tell you what we actually find, including when the real answer is first thing tomorrow. We do not put a time on this page that somebody else has to keep.

Why are other plumbers listed on this site?

Because IOPSA's register is public and useful: it lets you check a company before you let it into your house. We show the registered companies near you. It is not a list of who we recommend, and most of them have never heard of us. We do not show their phone numbers. If you want a plumber, WhatsApp us and we look for one near you who is free. Any company on the register can have its entry taken off this site for free by sending one message.

Do you cover my area?

All of Gauteng: Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ekurhuleni and the East Rand, the West Rand, the Vaal and the areas in between. We look for a plumber near you, and if nobody is close enough to be worth your time, we tell you so. Outside Gauteng? Send a message anyway and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.

What happens to my details?

They go to the plumber who is going to phone you, and nowhere else. We do not sell contact details on to marketing lists. If you want your details removed, message us and they are gone.
