Affordable Free Standing Fireplace Installation & Repairs Services
Freestanding wood stoves for Dreyersdal family rooms, flued through the ceiling with the right gap to insulation and roof timbers.
Dreyersdal is a quiet pocket of family homes between Bergvliet and Tokai, with generous plots and plenty of outdoor space. We install fireplaces with flues that pass safely through ceilings and roof insulation, and build braais for the patios and pool areas families use all summer.

Most Dreyersdal houses are freestanding family homes, many of them single-storey with broad pitched roofs and a large ceiling void. When a new stove goes into a room like that, the flue has to pass through the ceiling, across the roof space and out through the tiles or sheeting. Each of those points needs the correct clearance to timber, and the roof seal has to stay watertight through the Southern Suburbs winter rain.
Ceiling insulation is the detail people often miss. Many homes have had thick blanket insulation added over the years, and it must be kept well away from a hot flue. We fit a proper ceiling plate and heat shield, cut back the insulation to the required distance and check the area again on later service visits.
A closed-combustion stove is still the favourite for Dreyersdal family rooms, and most plots have space for a wood store near the kitchen door. Pick a model from our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490, and we will confirm that the flue route works with your roof.
Gas suits families who want quick heat after school and work without building a fire from scratch. We run the gas line, install the unit and give you the Certificate of Compliance.
For a new extension, a home office or a main bedroom, bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces give a focal point with no flue and no ceiling work.
Dreyersdal gardens are often big enough for a pool, a lawn and a covered patio, which gives plenty of choice on where the braai goes. We build brick or plastered braais into the patio, add a flue so smoke rises clear of the roof, and fit gas braais or pizza ovens for families who entertain often. If you have a thatched lapa, we keep any wood-burning braai well away from the thatch or suggest gas instead.

Call +27 73 209 3004It must be kept clear of the hot flue, and the exact distance depends on the flue type and the manufacturer's instructions. We cut back the insulation, fit a ceiling plate and heat shield, and check it is still clear on later visits.
Yes. A freestanding stove can be flued straight up through the ceiling and roof. If the roof route is awkward, gas, bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces are good alternatives.
Yes. We set it on a non-combustible base with safe clearances and plan the chimney so smoke clears the seating area. Gas works well if the braai is close to wooden decking.
It needs plenty of distance and a chimney that keeps sparks away from the thatch. In many cases we recommend a gas braai near thatch instead. We assess the layout and tell you honestly what is safe.
