Plumbing for Observatory Homes

Observatory is full of Victorian-era cottages, and many are shared houses and rentals. Old pipework, overworked geysers and drains that see heavy use are the usual suspects.

We work for owners, landlords and tenants, give every quote in writing, and fix the cause rather than patching the symptom.

What Our Cape Town Customers Say

  • Geyser repair

    Excellent service! My geyser was pulling around 24 units of electricity a day and he came out and diagnosed and fixed the issue. He spent over two hours here making sure everything was sorted. Very professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely lovely to deal with. I really appreciated the time and care he took to get everything right. Highly recommend!!

  • Heat pump installation

    Trex Plumbing did an excellent job installing our heat pump. The team was professional, punctual, and their workmanship was of a very high standard. The installation was neat, efficient, and everything was explained clearly. We are extremely happy with the service and would highly recommend Trex Plumbing to anyone looking for reliable plumbing and heat pump installation. Thank you for a great job!
