Renovating Bothasig Homes for Modern Family Living

Most Bothasig homes are single-storey family houses built some decades ago, with separate rooms, smaller kitchens and one or two bathrooms. Today, families often want an open-plan kitchen and living area, an extra bathroom and a covered outdoor space for braais and entertaining. Because the plots are a fair size, there is usually room to make these changes.

Outdoor building in Bothasig needs to account for the strong summer south-easter and winter rain. Patios and braai areas work best with some shelter from the wind, and paving and decks need proper drainage so water does not pool against the house.

What Our Building & Renovations Team Does in Bothasig

Outdoor entertainment areas

We build covered patios, braai areas, paving and decks, with walls or screens to shelter you from the wind where needed.

Opening up the house

Kitchens are knocked through to living areas and refitted, and bathrooms stripped and rebuilt with properly waterproofed showers.

Brickwork and finishing

Garden walls, additions and replastering are done in brick and finished with waterproofing and paint, so the work is complete when we leave.

Plans for Bothasig Renovations

If you are removing a load-bearing wall, adding a room or building a covered structure, plans approved by the City of Cape Town are usually needed. We will tell you at the quoting stage if your project needs plans, so the approval can be in place before we begin.

Our team also does handyman services in Bothasig, painting in Bothasig and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

How Our Renovation Service Works in Bothasig

  1. Share your plans. Send photos, what you would like to do and your street in Bothasig.
  2. Site visit. We look at the layout, walls, drainage and existing services.
  3. Written quote. You get a quote and timeline, and we agree where materials and the skip can go on the driveway or verge so neighbours are not blocked in.
  4. Building. We work through each stage, keep the site safe and tell you straight away about anything unexpected.
  5. Final handover. We check the work with you, fix any snags and clear away all rubble.

What Affects the Cost of Building & Renovations in Bothasig

  • Scope of the project. A full kitchen and living area remodel costs more than a single room update.
  • Finishes and fittings. Cupboards, tiles and counters vary widely in price.
  • Structural changes. Removing walls may need beams and approved plans.
  • Ground and drainage. Outdoor areas may need levelling and drainage work first.

You get a written quote before any work starts. See our main building and renovations Cape Town page for more about our building work.
