Interior Painting
Living areas, bedrooms and ceilings in Gordon's Bay homes and holiday flats repainted cleanly, often between letting seasons.
Houses in Gordon's Bay face salt spray, strong south-easters and full sun off the water, so exterior paint wears faster here than in most of Cape Town. Our painters prepare surfaces properly for coastal conditions, and photos of your home are all we need to send a written quote.
FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
These are the painting and waterproofing services we offer to Gordon's Bay homeowners and body corporates.
Living areas, bedrooms and ceilings in Gordon's Bay homes and holiday flats repainted cleanly, often between letting seasons.
Sea-facing walls, balconies, fascias and boundary walls washed of salt, repaired and painted to cope with the coastal weather.
Roofs cleaned of salt build-up and grime, rust treated on metal sheeting and loose tiles fixed, then painted for protection.
Balconies, flat roofs, parapets and sea-facing walls sealed against wind-driven rain coming in off the bay.
Gordon’s Bay faces False Bay directly, with many homes stepped up the mountain to make the most of the view. That position means walls and roofs take salt spray, strong sun reflected off the water and the full force of the south-easter, which gusts down off the Hottentots Holland range in summer. Paint fades, chalks and lifts sooner here, particularly on walls facing the sea.
In winter the cold fronts drive rain sideways against the walls, and any crack around a window or a balcony edge lets water in. Salt left on a wall can also stop new paint from bonding. Many homes here have balconies and flat roof sections, and these are often where leaks begin.
Before painting outside, we wash down the walls to remove salt and grime, scrape off loose paint and fill cracks. Rust on metal is treated so it does not bleed through the new coat.
We use coatings suited to coastal exposure and apply them in the right conditions, avoiding windy days and damp mornings so the paint dries and bonds properly.
We repaint rooms and ceilings, including quick refreshes for holiday lets, and clean, repair and paint roofs that are dulled or rusting from the sea air.
Many Gordon’s Bay properties are in complexes or let out over the holidays. We can quote on a full block repaint for a body corporate, or schedule interior painting for a holiday let in the quieter months so it is fresh before the summer season starts.
Our team also does handyman services in Gordon's Bay, building and renovations in Gordon's Bay and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
