Heating Newer Homes in Pelican Park

Pelican Park sits on the sandy flats between Zeekoevlei and the False Bay coast, and much of the suburb is made up of fairly recent housing developments. These houses are usually single-storey with modern pitched roofs, and very few were built with a fireplace. Adding one is straightforward, but the flue, the hearth and the clearances from the ceiling all need to be planned properly.

The south-easter blows hard across this part of the Cape Flats in summer, and loose sand travels with it. In winter, cold fronts bring rain and chilly nights. We fit cowls that keep the wind out of the flue and caps that stop sand building up, so the fireplace is ready to light when the cold arrives.

Wood, Gas & Bio-Ethanol Fireplace Options in Pelican Park

Wood Fireplaces

A small closed-combustion wood fireplace gives a lot of heat for the money and is a popular first fireplace for Pelican Park families. Take a look at our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490, with compact models for modest lounges.

Gas Fireplaces

A gas fireplace runs from a bottle outside, needs no wood and lights straight away. We install the gas line safely and issue a Certificate of Compliance on completion.

Bio-Ethanol and Electric

Bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces suit bedrooms, small living rooms and rented homes, because they need no flue and no changes to the roof.

Braais for Pelican Park Yards and Weekends

Many Pelican Park homes have a small yard or a covered patio, and a braai is often the first thing families want to add. We build compact brick braais against a wall, install gas braais that are easy to clean, and convert old wood braais to gas. In this windy spot we angle the braai and its chimney so the smoke goes over the wall rather than back into the house.

Our Fireplace Installation Process in Pelican Park

  1. Consultation. Send photos of the space and roof. We discuss the options and send a written quote, often the same day.
  2. Product selection. We recommend units that fit your room size and budget, from compact wood burners to flue-free models.
  3. Site assessment. We check the roof structure, ceiling clearance and wind exposure, and confirm parking and access in your street so the install day runs smoothly.
  4. Professional installation. The fireplace, flue and hearth are installed to SANS requirements and the roof is sealed around the flue.
  5. Handover. We light the first fire with you, explain how to run it and leave everything clean.

Pelican Park Fireplace, Braai & Chimney FAQs

What is the cheapest way to add a fireplace to a Pelican Park home?

A compact freestanding wood fireplace with a new flue is usually the best value. Labour for a single-storey install starts from R3,500, plus the unit and flue.

Can I install a fireplace in Pelican Park if the house has no chimney?

Yes. Most homes in Pelican Park have no chimney, and we install a new flue through the roof with the right clearances. A flue-free bio-ethanol or electric model is another option.

How do I stop sand getting into my chimney in Pelican Park?

A proper cap or cowl on top of the flue keeps most sand and birds out. A yearly sweep before winter clears anything that does get in.

Is a gas braai safe to use on a Pelican Park patio?

Yes, when it is installed correctly with the bottle placed outside and the right regulator and hose. We do the installation and issue a Certificate of Compliance.

Can I put a fireplace in a rented home in Pelican Park?

You will need the owner's permission for any flue or roof work. If that is not possible, a bio-ethanol or electric fireplace needs no installation and can move with you.

Do you also work in Zeekoevlei, Grassy Park and Strandfontein?

Yes. Our team covers Pelican Park, Zeekoevlei, Grassy Park, Strandfontein, Lotus River and the surrounding areas.
