Summer Greens is a fairly young suburb, and most of its houses and townhouses have tiled, pitched roofs with timber trusses and no chimney. That is not a problem, but it means the flue route needs proper planning. We check where the trusses run, keep the required clearance from timber and ceilings, and seal the roof so the new flue does not cause leaks in the winter rain.
Plots are compact and homes sit fairly close together, so where the flue comes out matters to you and to your neighbours. We aim to clear the roof ridge and nearby windows so smoke rises away cleanly, and in complexes we keep the finish in line with what the trustees or HOA expect.
A wood fireplace is a good fit for a Summer Greens family home, and a closed-combustion unit gives strong heat from a small footprint. Have a look at our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490, which includes models that suit average-sized lounges.
Gas is handy for busy households, since there is no wood to buy or store and no ash to clear. Many gas fireplaces can vent through an outside wall, which avoids cutting into the roof. Every gas install comes with the Certificate of Compliance.
If you rent, live in a complex with strict rules or simply want a fire with no building work, a bio-ethanol or electric fireplace is the simplest choice. Both work without a flue.
Garden space in Summer Greens tends to be modest, so a braai has to earn its spot. We build compact brick braais into a patio wall, fit gas braais that light quickly for a weeknight meal, and convert existing wood braais to gas where that suits you better. We plan the position so smoke does not drift straight into your own sliding doors or over the wall to the neighbours.

Call +27 73 209 3004Yes. Most homes in Summer Greens were built without one, and we install a new insulated flue through the roof. If you would rather avoid the roof, a wall-vented gas unit or a flue-free fireplace is an option.
Not if it is flashed and sealed properly. We fit a proper roof flashing around the flue and check the tiles around it, which is the part that matters most in winter rain.
Usually you do. Most complexes need trustee or HOA approval for anything that changes the roof or outside walls, and we can give you the details they ask for.
A compact closed-combustion wood fireplace is often the best value for regular winter use. Our labour for a single-storey freestanding install starts from R3,500, and the unit price depends on the model.
For many households it is, because it heats up fast, creates less smoke and takes up little space. We run the gas line safely and issue the Certificate of Compliance.
