Expect a call-out fee of about R450 – R752, then labour of R450 – R850 per hour depending on the job, plus materials. Specialist or urgent work sits at the top of the range (R900+ per hour), and equipment like camera inspections or leak detection is usually quoted separately.

On big stands with long pipe runs, irrigation, and pools, professional leak detection is worth every rand. Plumbers use acoustic equipment, tracer gas, or thermal imaging to pinpoint leaks before any digging. A quick self-check first: turn off everything that uses water and watch your municipal meter, if it's still moving, something is leaking.

After-hours and emergency work in Bryanston typically runs at 1.5–2× the normal labour rate, and an emergency call-out of R600 – R1,300+ may apply. Always confirm what counts as after-hours and whether the call-out includes the first hour before the pro leaves for your address.
