Offices, retail centres, body corporates and estates can't afford a burst pipe or a failed geyser bank shutting down trading or flooding a unit. Apple Plumbing & Electrical provides planned-maintenance and reactive commercial plumbing across Sandton, Midrand, Fourways and the wider Northern Johannesburg area. As an owner-managed, PIRB-registered contractor we give you one accountable point of contact — Garth Blair — instead of a rotating cast of sub-contractors. We handle everything from scheduled drain maintenance to emergency callouts and the Plumbing COCs your managing agent, insurer and municipality require.
What we do
We look after the full commercial scope: hot and cold water reticulation, geyser and heat-pump banks, ablution blocks, kitchen and canteen plumbing, grease traps, stormwater and foul drainage, booster-pump sets and back-up water. For managing agents and facilities managers we set up scheduled maintenance — quarterly drain jetting, annual geyser and valve servicing and CCTV surveys — to prevent the failures that cause downtime and insurance claims. Reactive work is prioritised by impact: a blocked ablution or a leak over a server room jumps the queue. Every job is documented with photos and an itemised invoice suitable for body-corporate levies or insurance, and we issue Plumbing COCs after any geyser or compliance work. We carry public liability cover and work to SANS 10254 and local bylaws.

Planned vs reactive plumbing maintenance
Why scheduled maintenance protects a commercial property.
| Approach | What happens | Cost impact |
|---|---|---|
| Reactive (break-fix) | Fix when it fails / floods | Downtime + emergency rates |
| Planned maintenance | Scheduled jetting, servicing, COCs | Fewer failures, predictable cost |

Why choose Apple Plumbing & Electrical
Most commercial plumbing is sub-contracted out, so accountability disappears when something goes wrong. We're owner-managed and PIRB-registered — Garth is personally responsible for your site, the same team attends each time and learns your building, and all work is documented for body-corporate and insurance purposes. We also handle the electrical side in-house, so geyser, pump and DB issues don't bounce between two contractors.
