We sweep, inspect and repair chimneys across Camps Bay. Soot build-up and wind-blown downdraught are the most common causes of a smoky room.
Camps Bay sits right under the Twelve Apostles, and the south-easter can come down the mountain hard in summer while the winter fronts push straight in off the Atlantic. A flue that works fine inland can blow smoke back into a Camps Bay lounge. We size the flue height for the roofline and fit a wind-rated cowl, so the fire keeps drawing on a gusty night.
The sea air is the other big factor. Mild steel flues and cowls rust quickly this close to the beach, so we recommend marine-grade stainless steel for anything outside the roof and check seals and fixings on every service visit.
For family homes with space to store wood, a closed-combustion fireplace gives far more heat than an open fire and burns cleaner. Browse our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490.
Gas suits lock-up-and-go homes and holiday villas well. There is no wood to store, the flame starts at the touch of a button, and there is very little to maintain between visits. Every gas installation includes the legally required Certificate of Compliance.
In apartments along Victoria Road where a flue is not possible, a bio-ethanol or electric fireplace gives the look of a real flame without building work.
Most Camps Bay homes are built for outdoor living, with decks and terraces facing the sea. We build braais that suit those spaces: built-in wood braais in stone or plaster, gas braais for quick weeknight cooking, and pizza ovens for entertaining. On open decks we plan the position and the hood so smoke clears away from the seating area when the wind picks up.

Call +27 73 209 3004In Camps Bay this is usually wind. Gusts coming down the mountain or off the sea push air back down a short flue. A taller flue, a wind-rated cowl or a clean sweep normally fixes it. We inspect it and tell you which one you need before any work is done.
We recommend marine-grade stainless steel for flues and cowls this close to the beach. Ordinary steel rusts quickly in salt air, and a rusted cowl can loosen in strong wind.

Often, yes. We check the deck structure and fire clearances first, then recommend a gas braai or a built-in unit on a non-combustible base. The quote covers everything needed to make it safe.
