Muizenberg mixes beachfront apartment blocks with Victorian, Edwardian and art deco buildings along Beach Road and the streets behind it. In flats there is often no chimney and no way to add one, and any change to outside walls or roofs needs body corporate approval. For these homes we usually look at flue-free bio-ethanol or electric units, or gas models that vent through an outside wall where the building permits it.
Older houses in Muizenberg often have original fireplaces, but the chimneys have usually seen decades of salt air and winter rain. We check the brickwork, pots and flashing before relining. Being on the flat sandy ground of the False Bay coast, homes here can feel damp in winter, and a well-sited fire makes a real difference.
For freestanding houses with space for a flue, a closed-combustion stove warms the home and helps dry out winter damp. Browse our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490 to compare models.
Gas is clean and simple, and some models vent sideways through a wall, which can suit buildings with no chimney. Every gas installation includes the Certificate of Compliance required by law.
These are the go-to choice for many Muizenberg apartments. They need no flue, no building work and usually no structural approval, and they still give you a flame to sit beside.
Outdoor cooking in Muizenberg ranges from a gas braai on a balcony to a full built-in braai in a family garden. We build wood braais in brick or plaster, install gas braais where wood smoke would bother neighbours, and add pizza ovens for bigger gardens. For apartments we check what the body corporate allows before recommending anything.

Call +27 73 209 3004Bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces need no flue at all, and some gas fireplaces vent through an outside wall, which suits many Muizenberg homes. We check what your building allows and what needs body corporate approval.
For anything that changes outside walls, roofs or the gas supply in a sectional title building, usually yes. A flue-free unit inside your flat often does not, but it is worth checking your rules first.
In many cases, yes. We sweep and inspect the chimney, repair the pots and brickwork if needed, and fit a liner or an insert so it is safe and efficient.
Cold, damp flues, blocked chimney pots and soot build-up are the usual causes. A sweep and a check of the top of the chimney normally show what needs fixing.
Often, if the balcony is well ventilated and the building permits it. We install the gas line safely and issue a Certificate of Compliance.
