Electricians - do your homework!

As far as I can make out, the person behind this secures the services of "bakkie electricians" who thumb-suck quotes that have no bearing on the actual work involved. In my case, I paid R4000 to an electrician (who seemed a nice guy) on the understanding that I would be getting a certificate of compliance - and that's where it broke down. Over the course of a week, and after exchanging many (increasingly aggressive) phone calls, emails, text and WhatsApp messages, it became clear that I wasn't going to get that certificate. I now have to start all over again, and spend more money. Although I did my usual check on Hellopeter beforehand, his website didn't ring any alarm bells, but when I tried similar-looking websites, all manner of complaints popped up. Useful tip: look out for Google reviews - and if there is no street/office address, be afraid! I found an address, which is useful for serving a summons. I also checked out the domain information, and although the address and owner names are redacted (why hide this?), it shows that the websites electrician.co.za and electricians-online247.co.za are owned by the same person.
