Paving, Decks & Outdoor Areas
Driveways, paths and patios paved on a well-compacted base suited to sandy coastal ground, and timber decks built with fixings that resist rust.
Many Strand homes and holiday flats are ready for a refresh, from a tired kitchen to a deck that salt and sun have turned grey. Our building team handles the job from start to finish and plans for the coastal conditions.

These are the building and renovation projects our team takes on in Strand.
Driveways, paths and patios paved on a well-compacted base suited to sandy coastal ground, and timber decks built with fixings that resist rust.
Boundary walls, braai areas and small additions built in brick and plastered, plus repairs to plaster that salt and damp have blown loose.
Flat roofs, balconies and parapets waterproofed and the outside painted, which is essential in a town where wind-driven rain and sea air test every wall.
Kitchens in family homes and holiday flats stripped out and refitted with new cupboards, counters, tiling and plumbing points.
Bathrooms renovated from the bare walls up, with showers waterproofed before tiling and extractor fans fitted to clear the damp coastal air.
Shops, offices and small business premises in the Strand town centre refitted with new layouts, flooring and paint, planned around your trading hours.
Much of Strand is built on sandy ground close to the sea, so paving, garden walls and small additions need a firm, well-compacted base and proper foundations to stop them settling. Salt in the air also attacks steel, so we think about rust from the start, from the screws in a deck to the reinforcing in a wall.
The town has a mix of older family homes, beachfront apartment blocks and newer estates such as Greenways. Sectional title blocks need body corporate approval before any renovation, and extensions or structural changes to a house need plans approved by the City of Cape Town. We help you sort out what is required before building begins.
Paving, decks, braai areas and boundary walls. We compact the sand properly, plan drainage and choose materials that hold up against salt and the summer wind.
Brickwork, plastering and repairs to walls damaged by damp, along with waterproofing of flat roofs, balconies and parapets before the walls are painted.
We strip out, rebuild, tile and fit kitchens and bathrooms, and refurbish small offices and shops, coordinating each trade so the job keeps moving.
Renovating inside a Strand apartment block comes with its own rules: approved working hours, limits on noise, protecting lifts and common passages, and getting rubble out without leaving a mess at the entrance. We work within the conduct rules, agree the plan with the managing agent or trustees first and keep the neighbours informed, so the project does not turn into a dispute halfway through.
Our team also does handyman services in Strand, painting in Strand, flooring and tiling in Strand and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Yes. We get the go-ahead from the body corporate, work within the building's hours and protect common areas while materials and rubble move in and out.
Yes. We use suitable treated timber or composite boards with rust-resistant fixings, and leave space for air to flow underneath so the deck dries out after rain.
We dig out loose sand, lay and compact a proper base, and plan the slope so water drains away. This stops pavers sinking or shifting over time.
