Hi there. I need help. There’s a stench in the bathroom I don’t know what causes it. The bathtub drain is damaged. The kitchen sink stinks when I open the tap. I know it’s a whole lot. I would appreciate to have someone over to check. I am willing to pay the call out fee should I not afford to get it fixed at the moment. I need to at least know what is wrong and how much it’d cost to fix. I will try and attach photos. Thank you.
I have a 4 gang light switch. The dimmer module is not working and needs to be replaced. I have already bought the module and I need it installed. One of the four switches is also not working as a cord has come loose and also one of the trailing led light for the switch has come loose. This is all in the same 4 gang light switch
Outside drain blocked with sewerage leak (not anymore but in beginning). Opened up ground and saw the one side pipe has a hole in it. Also discovered that smaller outflow pipe going into one drain from kitchen is cracked. Need professional help as this is not a small blockage that I can resolve with chemicals. 2 Bathrooms (shower, basin and toilet) outlet into 1 drain and 2nd bathroom (bath, basin and toilet) as well as kitchen pipes (including washing machine drainage) goes into other drain. Both drains are connected and main outlet pipe goes u derneath house to main system. Both drains where (are) blocked but has minimum flow now and toilets does not rise anymore.
I need a quote for the following for a residential property: - installation of solar geyser - installation of electricity meter - certificate of compliance in order to obtain occupancy certificate The house is a 3 bed house, new build, m2 (basic floor plan attached for an almost identical residence). The wiring has been completed in the house and wires pulled through. DB Board has been installed too. The house still requires a solar geyser plus the meter to be installed (meter will be obtained from the housing association). Following this, the certificate of compliance needs to be done in order to obtain an occupancy certificate.

I have one under the counter space for appliance, I need to have a dishwasher in addition to a washing machine. The washing machine will be moved to bedroom with the wall connecting to where the washing machine originally was for the water and drainage supply easier connection. The bedroom will need plumbing to connect washing machine. Dishwasher will be in the kitchen therefore plumbing for that is sorted but might need to be adjusted to connect washing machine. Attached photo of what I currently have.
Not sure if electrical rewiring is needed and dB box it or circuit breaker panel. Definitely needs plugs changed. One in kitchen trips the house, the other shocked me. How much would a complete check cost? Can you breakdown line for line in your quote and what it would cost to repair line by line?
We have a leak under the foundation of our entertainment area. The water is gushing into the yard. We have dug under the foundation from the yard and cannot see it so the leak has to be fixed from inside our entertainment area by knocking up the tiles and cement, then fix and replace the cement and tiles. It is quite a big job.
Pipe repair is concealed and we need to go through the actual tile and flooring. Leak detection done already. So repair needs to include fixing the floor and tile after repair. Also we are only available at 5.30 in the evening? Quotations are urgent and please don't respond if you charge for quotations.
The whole home needs rewiring as it was vandalised the pipes where the wires runs through are still mostly intact. It is a 4 bedroom house, with a living-, TV-, and Dining room, a scullery with a Kitchen. It also has a lapa with a swimming pool and Jucuzzi. The light switches, plug casing and light casing does not to be included in the quotes as we will buy it our self due to the fact that it needs to match the decor, the electrician just needs to install them.
