Our painting team works on all kinds of Claremont properties. These are the services we offer in the area.
High ceilings, cornices, skirtings and wooden window frames in Claremont's older homes painted carefully, as well as modern flats and townhouses.
Outside walls scraped, cracks repaired and damp areas treated, then repainted to stand up to the long, wet Southern Suburbs winter.
Leaf litter and moss removed from roofs under Claremont's big trees, rusted sheeting treated and the roof repainted.
Flat roofs, balconies, parapets and box gutters sealed, which is common work on Claremont apartments and older houses with flat sections.
Being so close to the mountain, Claremont gets far more winter rain than the city’s northern and eastern suburbs. Walls stay damp for weeks, and older houses without a working damp course often show bubbling paint and white salts along the bottom of the walls. Shaded walls under the oaks and on the south side of houses also grow mould and algae.
The building stock is a real mix. Harfield Village has rows of small Victorian and Edwardian cottages, Upper Claremont has larger family homes with plenty of woodwork, and the busier streets near Main Road are lined with flats and offices. Each needs a different approach to preparation and access.
We scrape back blistered paint, let the wall dry where possible, treat the salts and use suitable primers. We will also tell you if the damp needs a proper fix before painting is worthwhile.
Sash windows, doors, cornices and fascias are sanded and painted by hand, taking care with the details that give older Claremont houses their character.
We clean roofs, treat rust, repaint sheeting or tiles and waterproof flat roofs and balconies that tend to leak in the winter storms.
Exterior painting and waterproofing are best done in the drier months, from late spring to early autumn. Booking early means your walls and roof are sealed before the cold fronts arrive, and indoor painting can carry on through winter if needed.
Our team also does handyman services in Claremont, building and renovations in Claremont and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

This is usually rising damp, which is common in older Claremont houses. We treat and prime the affected areas, and will advise if a damp-proofing repair is needed first.
