Trusted fireplace installers in Cape Town for wood, gas, built-in and wall-mounted fireplaces. Supply and install, flue included, with a free site visit and written quote.
Winters in Cape Town are cold, damp and windy, and nothing changes a home like a properly installed fireplace. Fire Flame Installers is a Cape Town-based team that has installed hundreds of wood-burning, gas and closed-combustion fireplaces in homes from Constantia to Durbanville. We are not a marketplace or a middleman: the people who quote your job are the people who arrive on site.
We handle the complete job: supply of the unit (or installation of a fireplace you already own), flue and chimney work, wall framing for built-in and wall-mounted units, gas lines with a Certificate of Compliance, and the final safety inspection. Every installation is done to SANS clearance requirements, which keeps your home insurance valid and your family safe.

Every home is different, so we quote each installation after we have seen the space. These are the things that make the biggest difference:

We install fireplaces across the greater Cape Town area, including the Southern Suburbs (Constantia, Claremont, Newlands, Rondebosch, Tokai, Wynberg), the South Peninsula (Fish Hoek, Kalk Bay, Noordhoek), the Northern Suburbs (Durbanville Bellville Brackenfell, Kraaifontein), the Atlantic Seaboard (Camps Bay, Sea Point, Hout Bay), Blouberg & West Coast (Table View, Milnerton, Parklands, Melkbosstrand), and the Helderberg & Winelands (Somerset West Strand & Gordon's Bay Stellenbosch Paarl, Franschhoek).
Outside these areas? Ask anyway, we already go much further. Our team does regular fireplace installation in Hermanus and the Overberg, and our fireplace installers in Worcester cover the Breede Valley and Boland. We also run scheduled trips for fireplace and braai installation along the Garden Route, and for everywhere else we offer fireplace and braai delivery across South Africa.
Yes. Our fireplace installers work across Cape Town, from the Southern Suburbs and the Far South to the Northern Suburbs, the Atlantic Seaboard, Blouberg and the Helderberg. Send us your suburb and we will confirm when we can come out.
It depends on the type of fireplace, the flue route, whether it is wood or gas, and whether we supply the unit. We give you a written quote after seeing photos of the room or doing a quick site visit, so you know the full cost before we start.
Yes. Any fixed gas appliance in South Africa needs a Certificate of Compliance from a registered installer, and your insurance depends on it. We arrange it as part of every gas fireplace installation.
Most freestanding fireplace installations are done in a single day. Built-in, insert and double-sided fireplaces take two to three days, because there is building, plastering and finishing work around the unit.
Yes, it is one of the most common jobs we do. An insulated twin-wall flue can go through the roof or an outside wall, so nearly any home can have a fireplace without an existing chimney.
Wood gives you a real flame and low running costs if you have dry hardwood. Gas gives you instant heat at the push of a button with no ash to clean. We install both. Read our gas vs wood fireplace comparison for the honest pros and cons.
