Paving, Decks & Outdoor Areas
Paved driveways, patios and timber decks laid on well-compacted sandy ground, with falls that carry rainwater away from the house and the boundary walls.
Plenty of Parklands homes are now old enough for their first real upgrade, whether that is a dated kitchen, a cramped bathroom or a bare back yard. Our builders take on the brickwork, plastering, tiling and painting, so share your plans and photos for a written quote.
FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
Renovation work in Parklands often starts with one room and grows from there. These are the building and renovation services our team offers in the suburb.
Paved driveways, patios and timber decks laid on well-compacted sandy ground, with falls that carry rainwater away from the house and the boundary walls.
Garden walls, braai areas, new openings and small extensions built and plastered, plus repairs to cracked plaster where Parklands walls have moved on the soft ground.
Roofs, parapets and balconies sealed against winter rain, and new or repaired walls painted to match the rest of the house once the building work is done.
Older builder-standard Parklands kitchens stripped out and redone with new cupboards, counters, tiling, plumbing points and lighting, planned around how your family cooks.
Baths swapped for walk-in showers, new vanities, toilets and tiling, with the shower area fully waterproofed before a single tile goes down.
Small offices and shops around Parklands Main Road and the local centres refitted with new partitions, ceilings, flooring and paint, timed to keep your trading disruption short.
Most of Parklands was built over a fairly short stretch of time, so many houses share the same layouts, fittings and finishes. As families grow and tastes change, owners want to open up the kitchen, add a bathroom, enclose a patio or build a covered braai area. The bones of these homes are usually sound, which makes them good candidates for renovation.
The ground here is sandy and flat, and the water table near the coast can sit fairly high after heavy winter rain. Paving needs a well-compacted base, foundations for new walls must be done properly, and drainage around the house needs thought. Complexes also bring body corporate approvals into the picture, which we factor into planning.
We lay paving, build timber decks, put up garden and boundary walls and build braai areas, so the back yard becomes a space you actually use when the wind drops.
We take out the old units, move plumbing and electrical points where needed, then build, tile and finish the new room from start to end, including waterproofing in wet areas.
We do brickwork, plastering, new openings and small extensions, then the waterproofing and painting that make the new work blend in with the existing house.
Extensions, enclosed patios and structural changes usually need plans approved by the City of Cape Town, and in a complex the body corporate will want to see them too. A new kitchen or bathroom in the same footprint often does not need plans. We will tell you early which applies to your job so there are no delays halfway through.
Our team also does handyman services in Parklands, painting in Parklands and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
