We sweep, inspect and repair chimneys across Fish Hoek & the South Peninsula - soot and creosote build-up is the most common cause of poor draw.
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 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 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.
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.
A freestanding closed-combustion fireplace installed at Imhofs Gift, Kommetjie. The flue runs up through the raked ceiling and out through the roof sheeting, weather-sealed and finished in marine-grade stainless steel for the salt air coming off the Atlantic.
A Charnwood freestanding stove installed in a timber-ceilinged Noordhoek home. The flue runs the full height of the room and out through the roof sheeting in stainless steel, sealed against the wind coming over the Noordhoek wetlands.

Open-hearth-to-insert conversions are quoted after we've seen the existing chimney. We group our South Peninsula installations into scheduled runs, so mention your suburb when you enquire — there's no call-out fee for quotes anywhere from Muizenberg to Kommetjie. Full details on our fireplace installation Cape Town page.
Send a photo of the room and the outside roofline — we confirm the flue route and send a fixed quote, usually the same day. No pressure, no call-out fee.
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.
