What to check when hiring insulation installers in South Africa
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- In South Africa, electrical work must be signed off with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered person. Insist on the CoC, and for plumbing look for PIRB or IOPSA registration, because without a valid CoC a future home-insurance claim can be refused.
- For a new home or major structural build, the builder must be registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the home enrolled before construction. Check this before you pay a deposit.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
- Get a written quote and keep guarantee, insurance and payment terms in writing.
How to judge an insulation installer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Insulation only works if it is the right R-value for your climate and installed with no gaps or compression: ask what R-value they will use and why, and that it fully fills the space.
- Insulation should help meet South Africa's energy-efficiency requirements (SANS 10400-XA): ask how the proposed R-value compares with the requirement for your area and roof type.
- Safety matters: insulation must keep clearances around recessed downlights, flues, and transformers, and foil or metallic insulation must not contact electrical wiring: ask how they will handle this.
- Get the R-value, materials, and area in writing, confirm public liability insurance, and read reviews for tidy, complete work including hard-to-reach corners.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Can't tell you the R-value or why it suits your climate, or proposes to just lay a thin layer over existing settled insulation.
- Ignores clearances around downlights, flues, and wiring: a genuine fire risk.
- No written specification (R-value, material, area) or no public liability insurance.
- A cheap price for foil or a thin blanket that won't reach the recommended R-value, or pressure to sign for a rebate that sounds too good.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What R-value will you install, and why is it right for my area?
- How will you keep safe clearances around downlights, flues, and wiring?
- Will the insulation be gap-free and not compressed, including in awkward corners?
- Can I have the specification and area in writing, and do you carry public liability insurance?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy insulation installer?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. An insulation installer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend insulation installers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Insulation installers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring an insulation installer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the insulation installer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
