Many Welgemoed houses are generous single and double storeys with high ceilings, open-plan living areas and big windows onto the garden. A small fireplace in a room that size runs flat out and still leaves the corners cold. We size the unit to the volume of the space, and where heat needs to reach other rooms we talk through positioning before you choose.
The older established homes here often have original chimneys that have not been inspected in years. Mature trees on large stands also drop leaves and twigs onto roofs and into uncapped chimneys, so we check for blockages, cracked crowns and loose flashing as part of every assessment.
With space for a proper wood store, a closed-combustion fireplace is a natural fit for most Welgemoed homes, giving strong heat and a cleaner burn than an open grate. Look through our freestanding closed-combustion range from R7,490 for sizes that suit bigger rooms.
Gas suits families who want instant heat in the evening without carrying wood. We install the line from the cylinder position to the fireplace and issue the Certificate of Compliance.
For a study, main bedroom or new extension without a chimney, bio-ethanol and electric fireplaces add warmth and a flame without building work.
Welgemoed stands usually leave room for a proper entertainment area, and many families want more than a basic braai. We build wood braais with hoods and chimneys, install gas braais alongside them, and add pizza ovens and worktops to create a full outdoor kitchen. We plan the layout so the cook faces the guests and the smoke goes up and away.

If it has not been swept or inspected for a few years, have it checked first. We look for soot build-up, cracks, loose bricks and missing caps, and tell you honestly whether it needs a sweep, a repair or a liner.
Yes. We design the layout with you, combining a built-in braai, a gas braai or a pizza oven with worktops, and quote on the final design.
They can. Leaves and nests can block an uncapped chimney and cause smoke problems. A chimney cap or cowl keeps debris out, and we clear any blockage during a sweep.
Yes. Many gas fireplaces use a balanced flue through an outside wall, so a full chimney is not needed. We install the gas line and issue the Certificate of Compliance for your Welgemoed home.
