Paving, Decks & Outdoor Areas
Timber decks, pool surrounds, terraces and paved entrances built to make the most of the view and cope with salt air and wind.
Renovating in Camps Bay means steep sites, tight access and materials that have to stand up to the Atlantic. Our building team plans around all of that, from new decks and terraces to full kitchen and bathroom renovations, so send photos and your street for a written quote.

These are the building and renovation services our team offers in Camps Bay.
Timber decks, pool surrounds, terraces and paved entrances built to make the most of the view and cope with salt air and wind.
Garden and retaining walls repaired or built, and cracked or salt-damaged plaster stripped and redone.
Flat roofs, terraces, balconies and planters waterproofed and the house painted once the renovation is complete.
Open-plan kitchens redone with new cupboards, counters, tiling and plumbing, designed for entertaining and the indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
En-suites and guest bathrooms rebuilt with waterproofed showers, new tiling and fittings suited to a coastal home.
Guest houses, rental apartments and small commercial spaces refitted, with work scheduled around bookings and trading hours.
Almost every Camps Bay property sits on a slope between Victoria Road and the mountain, so renovations often involve retaining walls, stairs, terraces and limited access for materials. Homes range from older houses that need updating to modern villas with flat roofs, large glass doors and pools. Many owners renovate to improve the flow between the living areas, decks and the view.
Coastal conditions shape every material choice. Salt air corrodes metal and breaks down poor plaster, and the south-easter can drive rain sideways into gaps. Extensions, new walls and structural changes need plans approved by the City of Cape Town before building starts, and we will tell you early if your project needs them.
We build timber decks, pool surrounds and paved terraces, using treated timber and fixings suited to the sea air, with drainage planned for the slope.
We strip out and rebuild kitchens and bathrooms, move plumbing points where needed and waterproof every shower before it is tiled.
Our team handles brickwork, plastering, waterproofing and painting, so the outside of the house is properly sealed when the job is done.
Many Camps Bay homes earn their keep as holiday rentals, so the timing of a renovation matters. We usually suggest doing building work in the quieter winter months and planning the job in stages, so the house is ready for the summer season and you do not lose bookings during peak months.
Our team also does handyman services in Camps Bay, painting in Camps Bay and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Winter is usually best for holiday homes, because the summer season is busy and the south-easter makes outside work harder. Planning ahead means the house is ready for summer.
