Cabling conditions in Margate

Margate and the South Coast towns have many holiday flats and retirement homes that stand empty for weeks, which leaves wiring and fittings exposed to damp and salt without anyone noticing. Corroded DB boards, rusted conduit and failing outdoor lights are common findings when these properties are sold and need a COC. The humid subtropical climate and summer lightning add to the strain, so sealed enclosures, surge protection and tinned connectors are sensible choices. Ray Nkonyeni Municipality supplies much of the area, and small hotels, restaurants and shops along the beachfront need dependable commercial wiring and backup power.
