COC certificate in Roodepoort
A Roodepoort Certificate of Compliance on a free-standing house usually means the garage distribution board, the socket circuits, the stove and geyser isolators, and any pool pump. Complexes add a second question: some cupboards are common property, and the unit owner cannot order work there. Florida and Weltevreden Park houses also pick up gate motors that share an earth leakage with the kitchen plugs. If that circuit is part of the installation, it is part of the inspection.
State whether you are selling the house or only want a check before you install an inverter. Those are different briefs. A sale needs the certificate if the parties agreed to it. A pre-inverter check might stop at a defect list. Joburg Electrical does not decide which one your attorney requires.
What to photograph
A photo of the closed board and a photo of the gate isolator, if you have one, is enough to start. Do not remove covers. Write if the pool pump trips the house when it starts. That single fact tells the electrician where to test first, which matters in a large west-Johannesburg stand with the board far from the pump.
Questions and answers
Does the complex's compliance certificate cover my unit?
Ask the trustees what it includes. A common-area certificate does not automatically describe the circuits inside your unit.
Can the inspection happen if the prepaid meter has no units?
The electrician needs the installation energised to test. Buy units first if the meter is dry, unless they have agreed to a visual-only visit, which is not a full certificate.
Who signs the Roodepoort COC?
The registered person you hire after this match. Not Joburg Electrical, and not the marketplace.
