Parow covers a wide area, from Parow Valley and Klipkop either side of De La Rey Street to the older streets near Parow Station and Voortrekker Road. Housing ranges from freestanding family homes to semi-detached houses, townhouse complexes and blocks of flats. That variety means there is no single answer, so we start by asking what kind of property you have and what the building or landlord will allow.
Stands in central Parow are often fairly compact, with houses close together and roofs at similar heights. A flue needs to clear its own roof and stay well away from neighbouring windows and eaves, and smoke should not drift straight into the house next door. On still winter evenings a clean-burning closed-combustion unit and a correctly placed flue make a real difference for everyone on the street.
In a freestanding Parow house, a closed-combustion stove gives the best heat for the money and keeps smoke to a minimum. Our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490 includes compact models that suit smaller lounges.
Gas is a good fit for townhouses and homes where storing wood is a nuisance. We install the gas line, position the bottles safely outside and supply the Certificate of Compliance.
For flats in Parow, bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces are usually the most practical choice, since they need no flue and very little installation work.
Parow yards range from roomy back gardens to small courtyards behind semi-detached homes, so we size the braai to the space. Our team builds brick wood braais, installs gas braais that are quick to light after work, repairs older braais that have cracked or lost their grids, and fits pizza ovens where there is room. Under a covered patio we add a canopy and chimney so the smoke goes up and out instead of into your neighbour’s yard.

Call +27 73 209 3004Most flats cannot add a roof flue, so bio-ethanol or electric fireplaces are usually the answer. Some ground-floor units can take a wall-vented gas fire. We check what the building allows before suggesting anything.
Usually, yes, especially if the work touches the roof, an outside wall or common property. We can supply the details the trustees normally ask for, such as the unit specification and flue position.
A modern closed-combustion stove burning dry wood produces far less smoke than an open fire. We place the flue so it clears your roof and keeps away from neighbouring windows.
Yes. We replace cracked firebricks, grids and damaged plaster, and sort out chimneys that no longer draw. If a repair is not worth it, we will say so and quote for a replacement.
A freestanding unit with flue generally falls in the R6,000 to R18,000 installation range shown above, plus the cost of the fireplace itself. We confirm the exact price after seeing the room and roof.
Yes. Besides Parow we work in Goodwood, Bellville, Panorama, Plattekloof, Welgelegen and the wider Northern Suburbs.
