Most Edgemead houses are single storey with tiled pitched roofs, which makes roof access and flue runs fairly straightforward. That keeps installation simpler and is one reason a closed-combustion fireplace is a sensible upgrade here. Winter in this part of the Northern Suburbs brings cold, damp nights, and a well-sized unit warms the main living area quickly.
Homes sit close to their neighbours, so smoke matters. A modern closed-combustion fireplace burning dry wood produces far less smoke than an open grate, and a flue at the right height carries what there is up and away from neighbouring windows.
For most Edgemead lounges, a mid-sized closed-combustion unit gives plenty of heat with modest wood use. Our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490 includes models that suit typical family living rooms.
A gas fireplace gives quick, clean heat with no wood to buy or store, which suits busy households. Our team installs the gas supply and issues the Certificate of Compliance.
Bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces suit rooms with no chimney, and tenants who want a flame effect without permanent changes.
In Edgemead the braai is usually on the covered patio or in the back garden, close to the kitchen. We build wood braais in face brick or plaster with a chimney that clears the patio roof, install gas braais for weeknight cooking, and add a pizza oven where the family wants one. Placement takes the neighbours’ windows into account as well as your own seating.

A closed-combustion unit burning dry, seasoned wood produces very little visible smoke. We set the flue height so smoke clears the roofline and nearby windows.
Yes, as long as the braai has a hood and chimney that pass through or clear the roof. We check the roof structure and include flashing and sealing in the quote.
If you braai often and want less waiting and cleaning, a conversion makes sense. We fit the burners, run the gas line and issue the Certificate of Compliance.
Late summer or early autumn is best, before the first cold fronts arrive and the diary fills up. A sweep removes soot and lets us check the cowl and flue joints.
