Paving, Decks & Outdoor Areas
Decks, paved terraces and braai areas built for outdoor living, with drainage that copes with the rain that runs off the Constantiaberg.
Tokai's large, leafy plots leave plenty of room to improve, whether that is a covered deck facing the mountain or a modern kitchen in a house that has not been updated in a long time. Our builders handle the full job, from the first conversation to the final clean.
FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
These are the building and renovation services we provide for Tokai homes and businesses.
Decks, paved terraces and braai areas built for outdoor living, with drainage that copes with the rain that runs off the Constantiaberg.
Garden walls, boundary walls, new openings and additions built and plastered, including repairs to older walls cracked by roots or moisture.
Roofs, parapets and damp walls sealed and repainted so Tokai homes stay dry through the wettest months.
Closed-off kitchens opened into living areas and rebuilt with new tiling, plastering and finishes.
Older bathrooms gutted and rebuilt with waterproofing, new tiles, fittings and better ventilation.
Offices and small commercial spaces near Tokai refitted with new layouts, flooring and paint, planned around business hours.
Tokai is largely a suburb of settled family homes on big, tree-filled plots, many of which still have their original kitchens and bathrooms. Owners who love the area often renovate rather than move, adding outdoor entertainment areas, opening up living spaces and modernising wet rooms.
Building near the mountain brings its own conditions. Winter rainfall is high, ground can stay wet for long periods, and large trees close to the house can push roots under paving and walls. Good drainage, proper damp-proofing and waterproofing are part of every outdoor and wet-room project we plan here.
We build timber decks, pave patios and driveways, add steps and retaining edges and plan where the rainwater will go.
We build and repair boundary and garden walls, create new openings and build small additions. When the work is structural, we explain which plans the City of Cape Town needs.
Our team strips out, rebuilds, waterproofs, tiles and paints, coordinating every stage so you only deal with one contractor.
A renovation is the best time to sort out damp for good. When walls are opened up and floors lifted in a Tokai home, we can see where water is getting in and fix it at the source with damp-proofing, waterproofing or better drainage, instead of covering it with new finishes.
Our team also does painting in Tokai, flooring and tiling in Tokai and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Call +27 73 209 3004Replacing a kitchen or bathroom in the same position usually does not. Extensions, removing structural walls and some outdoor structures may need plans approved by the City of Cape Town.
Yes. We check whether the wall is load-bearing, advise on what is needed to remove it safely and then rebuild and finish the space.
Roots from large trees can push up paving and crack walls. We look at the cause and plan the repair or rebuild around it.
Yes. We use suitable timber, keep the frame off wet ground and allow for airflow and drainage underneath.
It depends on the size and finishes, but expect a few weeks from stripping out to completion. We give you a schedule with the quote.
Yes. Our building team works in Bergvliet, Constantia, Westlake and Kirstenhof too.
