Paving, Decks & Outdoor Areas
Driveways, pathways, timber decks and braai areas built for Brackenfell's long outdoor summers, with drainage planned for winter.
Plenty of Brackenfell families are improving the house they already own instead of moving, adding an outdoor entertainment area, redoing a tired bathroom or opening up the kitchen. Our builders take the job from first measurements to final clean-up.
FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
These are the building and renovation services we offer to Brackenfell homeowners and businesses.
Driveways, pathways, timber decks and braai areas built for Brackenfell's long outdoor summers, with drainage planned for winter.
Boundary walls, garden walls, small extensions and new openings built and plastered, matching the existing finish as closely as possible.
Roofs, parapets and walls sealed against the rain, then painted, often as the final stage of a larger renovation.
Old kitchens stripped out and redone with new layouts, tiling, plastering and finishing, keeping the disruption to family life as short as we can.
Bathrooms and en-suites rebuilt from the walls out, including waterproofing, new tiling and fittings.
Offices and small business premises around Brackenfell refitted with new partitions, flooring, paint and repairs, planned around your trading hours.
Many Brackenfell homes stand on reasonably sized plots with room at the back, which makes outdoor living projects popular: paved entertainment areas, timber decks and covered braai spaces. Inside, the kitchens and bathrooms in older houses are often the original ones, and those are the rooms owners most want to modernise.
The ground in parts of the Northern Suburbs contains clay, which swells in winter and shrinks in the dry summer heat. That can show up as cracks in boundary walls and paving that has sunk or lifted. We look at the cause, such as drainage or roots, before rebuilding, so the same problem does not come straight back.
We lay paving on a compacted base, build timber decks with proper support and spacing, and add steps, edging and drainage so the area stays usable all year.
Garden and boundary walls, new door and window openings, small additions and plastering. Where the work changes the structure, we help you understand what plans the City of Cape Town will need.
We strip out, rebuild, tile, waterproof and paint, coordinating the trades ourselves so you deal with one team from start to finish.
Not every renovation has to happen at once. Many Brackenfell homeowners start with the bathroom or the patio and do the kitchen the following year. If you tell us the bigger picture up front, we can plan the first stage so it fits with the later work, for example running new drainage or levelling for paving that will follow.
Our team also does handyman services in Brackenfell, painting in Brackenfell, flooring and tiling in Brackenfell and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Call +27 73 209 3004Cosmetic work like a new kitchen or bathroom in the same spot usually does not. Extensions, new structural openings and some outdoor structures may need plans approved by the City of Cape Town, and we will tell you if your job falls into that group.
Yes. We build decks on a solid support frame with the right spacing for drainage, and we can add steps and balustrades where needed.
Common causes are ground movement, poor drainage, tree roots and walls built without enough foundation. We check the likely cause before quoting to repair or rebuild.
It depends on the size and the finishes, but stripping, waterproofing, tiling and fitting a standard bathroom takes a couple of weeks. We give you a timeline with the quote.
