Paving, Decks & Outdoor Areas
Courtyards, small gardens and terraces at Sea Point houses and ground-floor units paved or decked to make the most of limited outdoor space.
Many Sea Point flats still have the original kitchen and bathroom from when the block was built, even if the view has never gone out of style. Our team renovates apartments and houses here with careful planning for lifts, parking and neighbours.

Renovating in Sea Point usually means working inside an apartment block. Here are the building and renovation services we offer in the area.
Courtyards, small gardens and terraces at Sea Point houses and ground-floor units paved or decked to make the most of limited outdoor space.
Damaged or damp plaster stripped and redone, non-structural walls removed or added where the body corporate allows, and openings neatly finished.
Balconies and roofs sealed against Atlantic storms and the renovated space painted, so the flat is finished in one project.
Compact apartment kitchens redesigned and rebuilt to make the most of the space, with new cupboards, counters, tiling and fittings.
Old baths swapped for walk-in showers, waterproofed and retiled, a common upgrade for owners renting out or selling a Sea Point flat.
Shops, restaurants, offices and practices along Main Road and Regent Road refitted with partitions, flooring, tiling and paint.
Much of Sea Point’s housing is in apartment buildings, many of them several decades old, with original kitchens, small bathrooms and steel windows. A renovation here is often about opening up a closed kitchen, updating a bathroom and fixing damp around windows and balconies, all within the footprint of the flat. Most blocks have rules on working hours, noise, lift bookings and rubble removal, and we plan the job around them.
The coastal setting adds its own requirements. Materials and fittings need to stand up to salt air, balconies need to be properly waterproofed and walls that have taken years of driving rain may need re-plastering before anything new goes in. Sea Point is within the City of Cape Town, and structural changes or alterations to the outside of a building may need plans approved by the City as well as consent from the body corporate.
We strip out old units and tiles, rework plumbing points where needed, waterproof wet areas and rebuild with new cupboards, counters, tiles and fittings.
Damp or cracked plaster is stripped and redone, non-structural walls are taken out to open up living space, and new openings are finished cleanly.
For shops and offices on Main Road and Regent Road, we refit interiors and plan noisy work for times that suit the business and the neighbours.
Before we start a renovation in a Sea Point block, we help you put together what the trustees or managing agent usually ask for: a description of the work, the planned dates and the hours we will be on site. Getting this agreed up front avoids stop-start delays and keeps relations with the neighbours on a good footing throughout the job.
Our team also does handyman services in Sea Point, painting in Sea Point and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
