Borehole drilling for Sandton properties
A Sandton stand gives a contractor room to work, but a pool, a long driveway and estate rules all shape where the hole can go.
Siting the hole on a large Sandton stand
The freedom a big stand gives you is mostly about clearance. The borehole still has to sit a safe distance from the house, the boundary and the pool structure, and clear of buried services and irrigation. On a Sandton property there is usually more than one position that meets those limits, which is an advantage the contractor will use to keep the rig's access simple and the tank placement sensible.
If you have a pool, tell the contractor before the site visit. Filling a pool and refilling it are heavy, occasional demands, and they are worth mentioning when the size of the installation is discussed.
Estate and body-corporate approval
A large share of Sandton homes sit inside estates, and those estates typically want to approve the position and set working hours. It is rarely complicated, but it has to be done before the rig arrives, so raise it in your enquiry and name whoever has to sign it off.

Frequently asked questions
Where on my Sandton property will the borehole go?
Clear of the house, boundary, pool and services, and reachable by the rig. The contractor chooses the final position on site within those limits.
Do I need the estate's permission?
If you are in an estate or complex, yes - approval for the position and the working arrangements, before the work is booked.
