Home Building and Renovations in Kuils River

Kuils River has a wide range of homes, from older family houses on decent plots to compact homes in newer estates and townhouse developments. A common request is to make better use of the space: opening up a closed kitchen, adding an en-suite, converting a garage or building an outside entertainment area. Security is also a priority for many families, so higher boundary walls and secure paved driveways come up often.

The ground in parts of the area is sandy, which affects foundations, paving and boundary walls if they are not built on a solid base. Hot summers and wet winters mean roofs, parapets and walls need to be watertight. Kuils River is part of the City of Cape Town, so extensions, garage conversions and structural changes need approved building plans from the City before work begins.

Raising Boundary Walls in Kuils River

Many Kuils River homeowners want higher or stronger boundary walls for security and privacy. Raising an existing wall needs a check of the foundation and the old brickwork first, as a tall wall on a weak base can crack or lean. We look at what is there, advise on whether it can be built up safely and let you know if City approval is needed for the height.

Our team also does handyman services in Kuils River, painting in Kuils River, flooring and tiling in Kuils River and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

What Affects the Cost of Building and Renovations in Kuils River

  • Type of project. A bathroom refresh costs less than a garage conversion or extension.
  • Foundations and ground. Sandy soil may need deeper or wider foundations for walls and additions.
  • Plans and approvals. Extensions and conversions need building plans approved by the City of Cape Town.
  • Finishes and materials. Cupboards, counters, tiles and paving types all affect the final price.
