Building and home renovations in Cape Town
Fire Flames is known for fireplaces and braais, but our team also takes on building and renovation work across Cape Town. We pave patios and pool areas, build decks, walls and extensions, waterproof roofs before winter and renovate kitchens, bathrooms and offices.
You deal with one team from the first site visit to the final clean up. We tell you upfront what the job involves, quote it in writing and finish it properly.
Our renovation services

Paving, Decks & Outdoor Areas
We lay paving for patios, pool surrounds, garden paths and entertainment areas, and build timber decks and steps. The ground is cleared, levelled and prepared properly first, so the paving stays flat and drains well for years.

Brickwork & Plastering
New walls, small extensions, boundary walls and repairs to cracked or damaged plaster. We also build the brickwork around new fireplaces and built in braais, so the surround is finished neatly with the installation.

Waterproofing & Painting
Cape Town winters find every weak spot in a roof or wall. We seal and waterproof roofs, walls and problem areas, then paint them to protect the surface. Best done before the rain season starts.

Kitchen Renovations
From new tiling and splashbacks to a full kitchen refresh. Tell us what you want to change, and we will plan the building work, tiling and finishes with you before anything is removed.

Bathroom Renovations
Retiling, new showers, vanities and full bathroom makeovers. We take care of the building work and tiling, and keep the mess to a minimum because we know you still need to use the house.

Office & Commercial Renovations
Partitions, ceilings, painting and general building work for offices and small business premises. We plan the work around your trading hours so your business can keep running.

Building and renovation FAQs

How do I get a quote for my renovation?
WhatsApp or call us on +27 73 209 3004, or send the form, with photos of the space, your suburb and a short list of the work. We will arrange a site visit and send you a written quote.
Can you build the brickwork around a new fireplace or braai?
Yes. Because we install fireplaces and braais ourselves, we can plan the opening, brickwork, plaster and finishes together with the installation, so you deal with one team for the whole job.
Do I need approved plans for my renovation?
Small jobs like paving, painting, tiling and repairs usually do not. Extensions and structural changes may need plans approved by the City of Cape Town. We will tell you at the site visit if your project needs them.
