Paving, Decks & Outdoor Areas
Paved driveways and courtyards, timber decks and sheltered braai areas, built to make good use of smaller Fish Hoek gardens and sloping plots.
Updating a Fish Hoek home often means bringing a decades-old kitchen or bathroom up to date, or turning an unused yard into somewhere to sit out of the wind. Our builders take the job from demolition to the final coat of paint, so share photos and ideas for a written quote.
FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
Renovations in Fish Hoek usually involve working with older structures and tight sites. These are the building and renovation services our team offers.
Paved driveways and courtyards, timber decks and sheltered braai areas, built to make good use of smaller Fish Hoek gardens and sloping plots.
Cracked walls rebuilt, new doorways opened between rooms, garden walls built and old plaster that has blown from salt and damp replaced.
Old flat roofs, balconies and parapets resealed, and new and repaired walls painted so the finished renovation is protected and looks complete.
Original Fish Hoek kitchens stripped out and rebuilt with new cupboards, counters, tiling and plumbing points, laid out to suit how you use the room.
Older bathrooms rebuilt with walk-in or low-step showers, new fittings and tiles, with full waterproofing in the wet areas before tiling.
Shops, offices and small practices along Main Road and in the town centre refitted with new partitions, ceilings, floors and paint.
Fish Hoek’s housing is mostly older family homes and flats, many built well but showing their age. Steel windows, small closed-off kitchens, single bathrooms and cracked plaster are common starting points for a renovation. As homes change hands, younger families often want to open up living spaces, while long-time owners want to make bathrooms and entrances easier to use.
The town sits between the mountains and False Bay, with sandy ground near the beach and steeper, rockier plots up the slopes. Salt air and damp affect old plaster and roofs, and sites in the older streets can be tight, with limited space for deliveries, skips and building materials.
We remove or alter internal walls where it is safe to do so, make new openings, replace old window and door frames and replaster, giving older layouts a lighter, more open feel.
We strip out, rework plumbing and electrical points, build, waterproof, tile and finish, so you deal with one team for the whole room.
We lay paving, build decks and walls, waterproof roofs and balconies and paint the finished work so the house is protected from wind, rain and salt.
Additions, enclosed stoeps, structural wall changes and new boundary walls above certain heights usually need plans approved by the City of Cape Town. Flats will also need body corporate consent for most changes. A new kitchen or bathroom in the same space often needs no plans, and we will tell you early which way your project falls.
Our team also does handyman services in Fish Hoek, painting in Fish Hoek, flooring and tiling in Fish Hoek and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
You get a written quote before any work starts. See our main building and renovations Cape Town page for more on our renovation projects.
Send photos of what you want to change and the street in Fish Hoek where the property is. You will usually have a written quote the same day, or a booked site visit for bigger work.
