Highlights

Great Company, service and price. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.

Ewald MHellopeter5.0 rating

We have had a smelly bathroom (wastewater smell) for several years. This has been addressed by different plumbers who installed one way valves on the toilet outlet, on the vent into the roof, and various other methods. Nothing worked. Then we were advised to contact Schmidhauser who advised placing a 110mm vent pipe outside of the bathroom into open air to allow any wastewater smells to escape outside of the bathroom and roofspace and eventually, we have a solution. We found all the contractors used by Schmidhauser to be professional and well trained in their respective types of work - since the job entailed plumbers, builders, plasterers and a carpenter to remake a box to house the toilet and shower/basin pipes under a covered box. They even put a lidded covered space on the box to house extra toilet rolls or sundries since it is a small bathroom. A complex job done with really excellent workmanship. Thank you Schmidhauser.

They are hands down the best in the business! The team is well-equipped and boasts massive knowledge and experience. It's the client support that's surprised me the most. I feel like they are members of our team when they respond / attend to our needs. The staff are always in good spirits, which speaks volumes of how well this company is run.

I am absolutely astonished by the conduct of Schmidhauser in what should have been a straightforward matter. Despite repeated correspondence over many months clearly explaining that I am NOT their client, and despite the fact that the disputed costs relate largely to a separate new-build project NOT related to me in any way, the company has chosen to ignore the facts and instead pursue threats, ************, debt collection processes and threats of adverse credit bureau reporting against me personally. At no point has there been any meaningful attempt to properly review the documentation or address the core issue: namely that I am being invoiced ( and threatened ) for costs which were incorrectly allocated from the outset. Instead, the response has simply escalated from aggressive phone call by Daniel Schmidhauser to written threats from him and third-party debt collector representatives. For the record: 1. I am not their client. 2. Their client is the representative of the new house build, or whichever party initially engaged and contracted their services. 3. My involvement was limited to facilitating and giving access through our property so that cables could be laid to the new house and boundary boxes installed. 4. I do not dispute that a small portion of the work related specifically to my property, and I have consistently stated that I am willing to pay the reasonable costs associated with that work. 5. This position was conveyed in writing on 2025/06/17 8:26 AM What is most concerning is the apparent willingness to threaten an individual and his family in order to force payment of a disputed account, rather than professionally resolve what is clearly an administrative and contractual blunder. Consumers and homeowners should think very carefully before engaging with a company that appears more interested in ************ and escalation than accountability and proper review. Disappointing, unnecessary, and entirely avoidable by a company which had a reasonable reputation.

We called these guys to help us rectify issues with our DB and our solar installation to get our SSEG done. Donavan and the guys did a STELLAR job, in record time, with no fuss or problems. Really happy with the work done, they are also getting our SSEG done as well. Solid workmanship, very good communication and very knowledgable and helpful staff. Could not be happier.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself

A Certificate of Compliance is legally required for electrical work in South Africa, and only a person registered with the Department of Employment and Labour may issue one. The Electrical Contractors' Association (SA) is a voluntary industry body whose members are vetted, a useful extra assurance but not the legal registration itself. Check whether they're an ECA(SA) member, and always ask for a valid CoC.

Check the ECA(SA) member directory
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.
