What we do
Four trades. One team that answers for all of it.
Most property problems don't respect trade boundaries. A geyser is plumbing and electrical. A generator touches your DB board. We handle both sides, so you deal with one team.

Plumbing

Good to know
Questions we hear every day.
Still not sure what you need?
Describe what you're seeing. We'll work out whether it's electrical, plumbing or both.
011 791 6121 WhatsAppDo you help with emergencies after hours?
Yes. Our emergency line is open 24/7, every day of the year. Call 011 791 6121 with your suburb and a description of the problem, and our team will confirm the next step.
Do you work on homes and businesses?
Yes. We look after homes as well as offices, shops, estates, body corporates and other managed properties.
Will the technician be employed by Amptex?
Yes. Amptex uses its own directly employed electricians and plumbers, supported by an in-house office that coordinates every job.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. Our minimum charge is the first hour of labour. If our team fixes the problem within that first hour without using any materials, that is all you pay. After-hours and weekend call-outs carry a surcharge, and our office confirms the rate before we send the team.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We guarantee our workmanship for 6 months from the date the work is completed. Products we install, such as JoJo tanks, generators and inverters, also carry their manufacturer’s warranty.
How can I pay?
We accept EFT and card payments: Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Invoices are due on receipt, and installations need a 75% deposit before materials are ordered. We offer 30-day accounts to landlords, property managers, companies and pre-qualified individuals.
Do you do electrical COCs?
Yes, for homes and businesses, including COCs needed for a property sale. If the inspection finds faults, we explain what has to be fixed before a certificate can be issued.
Do you install JoJo tanks and deliver water?
Yes. We are proudly JoJo approved installers and install water tanks, pumps and backup-water connections for homes and businesses. During outages we also deliver potable water to refill JoJo tanks, and fresh water for pools.
Can you help in Pretoria or Soweto?
Pretoria, Soweto and outer Gauteng are serviced by arrangement. Contact our team with your exact suburb and the service you need so availability and any travel arrangements can be confirmed.
