We had our house renovated and the guys assigned to do our electrical work completed in August, they tried to install a light but opened the DB to draw a wire and problems started..Our earth leakage trips randomly..they tried to fix it but failed, now they had to bypass the earth leakage and even changed the prepaid meter so that we can temporarily have electricity. The previous prepaid meter was showing an overload even when eskom was off. The new meter constantly beeps and signs bypass. We have seen 2 electricians thus far.

I am unable to take calls. Please reach out to me either on email or Whatsapp and I will be able to answer any of your questions. I would like a quote for an event for max people. We will need light finger food for all attendees in the late morning, and then about 40 people will need a sit-down late lunch with plates, silverware and chairs included. Tables will not be necessary. The other 60 people will be having a spit braai and will need a tent and plates and silverware. We can supply the lamb for the spit braai. Please may you supply me with a quotation for the above, if possible? Thanks!
I will need a brick wall (no plastering) to be built in the front/entrance to the property. I would like quote for both a 6 foot and an 8 foot to compare please. The length of the front is 28.m. I would also need a solid motorized gate (extending as far down to the ground as possible) also to be put up with the erection of the wall. The start of the project would only be late January, early February next year.
We have a unit that originally had a balcony (1.2m x 4.0m), that the previous owner closed up with hardwood floors. We want to return it into a balcony: remove the windows, return the balcony floor to the original concrete, and install a sliding door again. We already had the wooden floorboards removed, but we need a quote on: - Removal of screed (where the floorboards used to be) - Finishing of the drop / sliding door cill, from the inside of the apartment to the balcony floor (where the sliding door frame will be installed) - Finishing of the balcony floor (smooth concrete, as it was before, is OK) to make sure that any rain will flow to the original draining pipe. - Cleaning of screed/rubble. Please see the attachments. We need measurements and briefing with the sliding door installation company to happen tomorrow (Wed 13 Dec). But we are flexible with the job start time (either this week before Friday or in middle January) For now, we only want a quote on the screed removal / return to concrete flooring / preparation for the sliding door frame. Depending on the quality of the job, we will consider you for the removal of the windows and finishing of the exterior wall (once the sliding door is installed).
I am guessing the roof area at +- M2? This is a 2 bedroomed house with a 4 -triangled roof facing 4 ways. One section receiving direct rain needs extra attention and the rest still reasonable. You will probably check all measurements on internet Google maps etc. Quote to paint roof in green please. This must wait untill mid to end January'24
