This page covers the city itself and Johannesburg South: the CBD, Braamfontein, Parktown and Melville, and the southern suburbs from Rosettenville and Turffontein down to Mondeor, Glenvista, Southgate and Mulbarton. If you're further north, see Northcliff, Randburg or Sandton.
Homes here range from apartment blocks and student flats to old houses on big stands and family homes in the south, and that shapes the job. It might be a front loader squeezed into a flat's kitchen, a bar fridge in a student room, or a stove that has cooked for a family for years. Either way, the technician comes to you, finds the fault and explains the repair and its cost before any work starts.

Flats, older houses and busy family homes
In a flat, space is the challenge. A washing machine that needs to come away from the wall for a repair may have to be eased out of a tight gap, so clearing the area around it before the technician arrives saves time. It also helps to know where the water stop tap for your unit is.
In older houses, the wiring to the stove and the plug points to the laundry can be very old. When a stove trips the power or an appliance won't switch on, the technician checks the supply at the appliance first, and tells you plainly if the problem is in the house wiring rather than the appliance, so you know whether you need an electrician instead.
Before the technician arrives
A few small things make the visit quicker, especially in a flat:
- Clear a space in front of the appliance and move anything stored on top of it.
- Find the water stop tap for the washing machine or dishwasher, and the switch for the stove.
- Have the make and model ready. The sticker is usually inside the door or on the back.
- Tell us about the parking, the lift or the stairs when you book.
Fast help when it can't wait
A fridge going warm or a washing machine leaking across the floor can't wait for next week. Typically at your door within 60 minutes for same-day bookings. If water is on the floor or food is at risk, our emergency repairs page has a few safe things to do while you wait.
No call-out fee when we repair it.If no repair is done, a R500 call-out applies. The technician finds the fault and explains the repair before any work starts, so you decide whether to go ahead.
