Paving, Decks & Outdoor Areas
Driveways, pathways and patios paved on a compacted base, and timber decks built to handle the hot summers and wet winters of the Northern Suburbs.
Durbanville families often choose to renovate rather than move, adding a bigger kitchen, a second bathroom or a proper outdoor entertainment area. Our building team takes on the work, keeps you informed along the way and leaves the site clean.

These are the building and renovation projects we take on for Durbanville homes and businesses.
Driveways, pathways and patios paved on a compacted base, and timber decks built to handle the hot summers and wet winters of the Northern Suburbs.
Garden walls, boundary walls, braai surrounds and small additions built and plastered, plus cracked plaster cut out and redone properly.
Flat roofs, parapets and balconies sealed and the finished renovation painted, so the new work stays dry from its first winter.
Old kitchens stripped out, walls and plumbing points moved where the new layout needs it, then cupboards, counters and splashbacks fitted.
Full bathroom makeovers, from removing the old suite to waterproofing, tiling and fitting a new shower, basin and toilet.
Offices and small shops around Durbanville refitted with new partitions, flooring and paint, with the work planned around your trading hours.
Many Durbanville homes stand on generous plots, which leaves room to extend, build an outside entertainment area or pave a wider driveway. The older houses closer to the village were built solidly but often still have their original kitchens and small bathrooms, while families in the newer estates usually renovate to make the house fit a growing household.
Most of the security estates have architectural guidelines and their own approval steps, and any extension or structural change needs approved plans from the City of Cape Town. We help you work out early on which approvals your project needs, so building can start without unexpected delays.
Paving, timber decks, boundary walls and braai areas. We prepare the ground properly and plan for drainage, so water runs away from the house and not under the new paving.
Brickwork, plastering, opening up walls between rooms and small additions. Where structural changes are involved, we work to approved plans.
We strip out the old room, move plumbing points if needed, waterproof wet areas, then tile, fit and paint until the room is ready to use.
Not every renovation has to happen at once. Many Durbanville homeowners start with the room that bothers them most, often the kitchen, and do the bathroom or the outside area later. Tell us your full plan up front and we can sequence the work sensibly, for example running plumbing for a future bathroom while the kitchen walls are open, so later stages cost less and cause less disruption.
Our team also does handyman services in Durbanville, painting in Durbanville, flooring and tiling in Durbanville and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Call +27 73 209 3004For extensions and structural changes, yes, plans must be approved by the City of Cape Town. Cosmetic work such as a new kitchen in the same space usually does not need plans, but estates may still want to approve it.
Yes. Doing both together can save time, because plumbing and tiling are planned as one job. We will set out a schedule so you still have a working bathroom or a temporary kitchen for as long as possible.
Yes. We build decks that suit the slope of your garden and the way you use it, and we treat and seal the timber so it handles the summer sun and winter rain.
In most cases, yes. We section off the work area, control dust as far as possible and clean up at the end of each day.
