For over 16 years, Garth Blair has personally run Apple Plumbing & Electrical, growing it from a one-man plumbing operation into a small, accountable team that covers both trades across Sandton, Midrand and Northern Johannesburg.
Why both trades under one roof? Because most modern plumbing jobs need an electrician and most electrical jobs touch a geyser. Splitting them across two companies usually means two callouts, two quotes and two opportunities for things to fall through the cracks. We send one team that owns the whole job.
What we believe in
- 01Honest quoting.Written quotes before work starts (except true emergencies).
- 02Proper materials.SABS-approved parts from reputable suppliers, not cheap imports.
- 03Real diagnostics.Insulation testers, thermal imagers, CCTV cameras — not guesswork.
- 04Compliance documentation.COCs are issued by registered persons and properly filed.
- 05Owner accountability.Every escalation reaches Garth personally.
