Fireplace, Braai & Chimney Services in Fish Hoek & the South Peninsula
Fireplace installation, braai building and chimney sweep services for the South Peninsula — Fish Hoek, Kalk Bay, Simon's Town, Noordhoek and Kommetjie. A properly installed fireplace is the driest, warmest answer to False Bay's damp winters, and we fit ours with marine-grade flues that shrug off the salt air. 🔥
Our Installers Cover Fish Hoek & the South Peninsula
Fire Flame's installers come over Ou Kaapse Weg and along Boyes Drive every week — fitting closed-combustion stoves in Fish Hoek family homes, reviving old hearths in Kalk Bay cottages, and running stainless flues through Noordhoek barn-style new-builds. Coastal work is our speciality: we specify 316 marine-grade stainless flues and cowls that survive the salt air. 🔥

Fireplace installation in Fish Hoek
The Peninsula's older coastal cottages are winter damp-traps — thick walls, single glazing and mould creeping across the south-facing rooms. A closed-combustion fireplace is the fix locals swear by: dry radiant heat that warms the fabric of the house and keeps mould off the walls for a fraction of the running cost of electric heating. We install freestanding units in Fish Hoek and Glencairn, insert conversions into Kalk Bay's original hearths, and modern wall-mounted units in Sun Valley and Capri homes.

Braai installation in Fish Hoek & Simon's Town
A South Peninsula braai has to be built for wind and salt. We build enclosed braai rooms that let you cook whatever False Bay's weather is doing, and outdoor built-in braais in brick and stone with stainless grids and fittings that don't rust out after two seasons on the coast. Certified gas braai installations include the Certificate of Compliance. More on our braai installation service.

Chimney sweep & maintenance on the South Peninsula
Salt air is brutal on chimneys, and some Kalk Bay and Simon's Town flues have stood in it for a century. Our chimney sweep service covers the whole Peninsula — soot and creosote removal, corrosion checks on caps and cowls, bird-nest clearing and repairs to cracked masonry before winter. See our chimney sweep service.
We proudly serve Fish Hoek, Clovelly, Kalk Bay, St James, Muizenberg, Glencairn, Simon's Town, Sun Valley, Capri, Noordhoek and Kommetjie.
Wood, Gas & Pellet Fireplace Options in Fish Hoek
Wood Fireplaces
Nothing dries out a damp Fish Hoek cottage like a wood-burning closed-combustion stove — steady radiant heat that keeps walls, cupboards and bedding dry through the wettest False Bay winter. Browse our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490.
Gas Fireplaces
Gas suits the Peninsula’s lock-up-and-go homes and the holiday lets of Simon’s Town and Kalk Bay: instant heat at the flick of a switch, no wood storage, and every installation includes the legally required Certificate of Compliance.
Pellet & Alternative Fireplaces
Pellet stoves give larger Noordhoek and Kommetjie homes automated, thermostat-controlled heating; bio-ethanol units solve sectional-title flats along the Fish Hoek beachfront where a flue isn’t possible.
Why Professional Installation Matters in Fish Hoek
Coastal installations fail differently: ordinary galvanised flues corrode from the outside in, an under-sized cowl lets the valley wind push smoke back into the room, and mountain-facing rooms need clearances calculated for their draught rather than a catalogue’s. A professional installation uses 316-grade stainless steel, seals the roof penetration against driving winter rain, and is signed off to SANS 10400 — the certificate your insurer will ask about after a chimney fire.
Our Fireplace Installation Process in Fish Hoek
- Consultation. Send photos of your room and roofline — we confirm what suits the space and quote, usually same-day.
- Product selection. We shortlist units for your room size and budget, favouring marine-grade finishes for homes near the beachfront.
- Site assessment. Older Kalk Bay and Simon’s Town chimneys get inspected first — lining or repair is quoted before any work starts.
- Professional installation. Flue, clearances and weather-sealing done to SANS requirements — most Fish Hoek jobs finish in a single day.
- Handover. Test fire, operating walkthrough, site left clean.

Fish Hoek & South Peninsula Fireplace, Braai & Chimney FAQs
Yes — it's the main reason Peninsula locals install them. A closed-combustion stove produces dry radiant heat that warms the fabric of the house and drives moisture out of walls and cupboards, unlike unflued gas heaters, which release water vapour as they burn and can make condensation worse.
It eats ordinary galvanised flues quickly, which is why we fit 316 marine-grade stainless steel flues and cowls on coastal jobs. With an annual chimney sweep and inspection they last for decades, even a street back from the beach.
Installation labour for a freestanding unit on a single-storey home runs R3,500 – R4,800. A complete project — unit, flue and installation — typically lands between R18,000 and R40,000. Peninsula jobs are quoted the same as anywhere else in Cape Town, with no call-out fee.
Yes — heritage-era cottages are some of our favourite work. We inspect and line the original chimney where needed, fit an insert or freestanding stove that suits the proportions of the room, and keep the period character intact.
