Fireplace installation in Strand & Gordon's Bay
Living a few hundred metres from the sea changes what a fireplace has to survive. In Strand and Gordon's Bay we fit closed-combustion units with marine-grade stainless flues and corrosion-resistant fixings, because a standard galvanised flue on a beachfront home can start rusting within a couple of winters. We install freestanding units in older Strand beach cottages, wall-mounted fireplaces in sea-facing apartments, and inserts into existing open hearths — flue work and safety inspection included. See our full fireplace installation service.

Braai installation in Strand & Gordon's Bay
On this coast the braai lives outside almost year-round — until the South-Easter arrives. We build sheltered built-in braais and enclosed braai rooms for Strand and Gordon's Bay patios, sized and flued so the smoke goes up instead of back at your guests, plus certified gas braai installations for Harbour Island and Mountainside homes where solid-fuel storage is tight.

Chimney sweep & maintenance in Strand & Gordon's Bay
Salt air and holiday-home neglect are hard on a chimney. We sweep, inspect and repair chimneys along the Strand and Gordon's Bay coastline — soot and creosote removal, rusted cowl and flashing replacement, and anti-downdraught cowl fitting for the exposed sites where the South-Easter drives smoke back down the flue. See our chimney sweep service.
We proudly serve Strand, Gordon's Bay, Van Ryneveld, Rusthof, Broadlands, Harbour Island, Mountainside, Temperance Town, Sir Lowry's Pass and nearby Somerset West.
Wood, Gas & Pellet Fireplace Options in Strand & Gordon’s Bay
Wood Fireplaces
A closed-combustion wood unit is still the best answer for a draughty older Strand cottage — it holds heat through a cold, damp coastal night on a fraction of the wood an open hearth burns. Browse our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490.
Gas Fireplaces
Gas suits the sectional-title blocks and holiday apartments along the beachfront: instant heat for a weekend visit, no wood to store and no ash to clean before you lock up. Every gas installation includes the legally required Certificate of Compliance.
Pellet & Alternative Fireplaces
Pellet stoves work well in the larger Gordon’s Bay mountainside homes; bio-ethanol units suit apartments where a flue through a shared roof isn’t an option.
Why Professional Installation Matters in Strand & Gordon’s Bay
Coastal installations fail differently: ordinary galvanised flues corrode fast in the salt air, an under-sized cowl lets the South-Easter push smoke straight back down the flue, and holiday-let owners need their paperwork in order. A professional installation uses marine-grade stainless steel, seals the roof penetration against driving winter rain, and is signed off to SANS 10400 — the certificate your insurer and body corporate will ask about after a chimney fire.
Our Fireplace Installation Process in Strand & Gordon’s Bay
- Consultation. Send photos of your space — we confirm what suits the room and quote, usually same-day.
- Product selection. We shortlist units for your room size and budget, and specify marine-grade flue components for homes close to the sea.
- Site assessment. We check the existing chimney, the roofline and — on the steeper Gordon’s Bay slopes — how we will get access and scaffolding in before quoting.
- Professional installation. Flue, clearances and finishing done to SANS requirements — most jobs in a single day.
- Handover. Test fire, operating walkthrough, site left clean. For holiday lets we can hand over to your managing agent.

Marine-grade stainless flue components add roughly 15–25% to the flue portion on beachfront homes — worth it, because a corroded flue is the single most common repair we do on this coast. Open-hearth-to-insert conversions are quoted after we have seen the existing chimney. Full details on our fireplace installation Cape Town page.

Strand & Gordon's Bay Fireplace, Braai & Chimney FAQs
Yes. Salt-laden air corrodes standard galvanised flue pipe, cowls and flashings, and on beachfront properties we regularly replace flues that are only five or six years old. For homes within roughly a kilometre of the sea we specify marine-grade 316 stainless — it costs more up front and lasts several times longer.
Often yes. Wall-mounted gas and bio-ethanol units are the usual answer where a flue cannot pass through a shared roof. Where a flue is possible we handle the body-corporate approval and the roof penetration sealing.
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 R12,000 and R25,000. Marine-grade flue components and difficult access on the Gordon's Bay slopes are quoted separately.
Usually. Downdraught on exposed coastal sites is nearly always a flue height or cowl problem. We fit anti-downdraught cowls, extend short flues and check for negative pressure from extractor fans — a site visit tells us which it is.
