Honest home-service quotes for South Africa
Getting a quote for solar, plumbing, electrical or security work in South Africa was unnecessarily opaque — full of marketing noise, padded estimates, and weeks of pushy follow-up calls. FlowLeads was built to fix that, one niche at a time.
Why we built this
Whether it's a R150 000 solar install, an emergency burst pipe, a COC certificate for a house sale, or an alarm system after a break-in — South African homeowners face the same broken pattern: phoning around for quotes, talking to strangers from unknown call centres, and never quite knowing which numbers to trust.
We built FlowLeads to change that: a single platform that uses structured questions and real data to give you an honest match, routes you to vetted local professionals in your niche, and never shares your details without your explicit consent.
What we stand for
Honest data, not marketing
Solar estimates use PVGIS v5.2 satellite irradiance and actual municipal tariffs. Trades quotes use real partner pricing in your area. Across every niche, we show the real numbers — not the best-case scenario.
Quality over quantity
Every enquiry runs through a structured questionnaire and AI scoring before we route it. Tyre-kickers and unfunded requests are filtered out — so the professionals we match you with only see people who can actually go ahead.
Verified professionals only
Every installer, plumber, electrician and security installer on FlowLeads is verified against SAPVIA, IPSASA, the DEL Wireman register or PSiRA before we let them on the platform. We remove anyone who receives consistent negative feedback.
Built for South Africa
Local tariff data, regional partner networks, regulator-aligned consent text (POPIA), and an understanding of the SA context — load-shedding, insurance-driven COC requirements, NHBRC for structural work, SAQCC Gas for refrigerants. It's not a global template stretched onto SA.
Who runs FlowLeads
Pieter Muller is the founder of FlowLeads, a Durban-based home-services quote platform for South Africa. A software engineer by background, he built FlowLeads to give SA homeowners honest, data-backed matches with verified local professionals — across solar, plumbing, electrical, security installation and the trades that follow. Every niche on the platform is gated to its statutory regulator (SAPVIA, IPSASA, the DEL Wireman register, PSiRA), so homeowners only ever talk to legally compliant partners.
How FlowLeads makes money
FlowLeads is free for homeowners. We earn a referral fee when one of our verified partners — solar installers, plumbers, electricians, security installers — wins your business after we route your quote to them. The referral fee comes out of the partner's margin — it does not increase the price you pay, and it does not influence which professional we match you with: routing is based on suitability, response time, and homeowner ratings only.
In a small number of cases we also redirect homeowners to accredited comparison-engine partners; those redirects are clearly labelled and use the same disclosure rules. Where we link to manufacturers or product reviews, those links are editorial and never paid.
