Bothasig lies on flatter ground than the hill suburbs of Plattekloof and Monte Vista, but that leaves it open to the wind. Winter cold fronts arrive with strong north-westerly gusts and driving rain, so a cowl that resists downdraught and a well-sealed roof penetration are worth getting right.
Many homes here are established family houses that have been extended over the years. When a fireplace goes into a newer room or an extension, we check the ceiling and roof structure so the flue route clears beams and meets the required clearances.
A closed-combustion fireplace is a cost-effective way to heat a Bothasig home through winter, using less wood than an open fire and giving off much less smoke. For Bothasig homes, our freestanding closed-combustion range starts from R7,490.
Gas gives instant heat with simple controls and no ash to clean out. We handle the gas line from the cylinder to the appliance and issue a Certificate of Compliance when the work is done.
If there is no way to run a flue, bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces offer a flame and some warmth with no structural work.
A good braai is part of family life in Bothasig, and we build them to last. Options include brick or plastered wood braais with a proper chimney, gas braais for quick meals, conversions of existing braais to gas, and pizza ovens for weekend cooking. With the winter fronts in mind, we seal any roof penetration properly and position the braai so rain does not blow into the firebox.

Wind-driven rain from winter cold fronts can enter an uncapped flue or a cracked chimney crown. A suitable cap or cowl and a check of the flashing usually stops it.
A closed-combustion wood fireplace is usually the most economical to run, because it burns far less wood than an open grate for the same heat. Bio-ethanol costs less to install but more to run.
