Repairs & Fittings
Corroded towel rails, light fittings, shelf brackets, blinds and cupboard hinges replaced with fittings better suited to beachfront air, plus TV mounts and mirrors put up properly.
Facing straight onto the Atlantic and Table Mountain across the bay, Bloubergstrand homes get the full force of wind, sand and salt spray. Our team repairs the fittings, doors and gutters that suffer most, so send your list and photos for a written quote.
FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
Bloubergstrand has a mix of family homes, apartments and short-term rentals, all exposed to the sea. These are the handyman jobs we are asked for most often here.
Corroded towel rails, light fittings, shelf brackets, blinds and cupboard hinges replaced with fittings better suited to beachfront air, plus TV mounts and mirrors put up properly.
Large sea-facing sliding doors and folding doors that grind on salty, sandy tracks, plus corroded locks and window handles, cleaned, serviced or replaced.
Salt-damaged plaster, cracks around big window openings and dents and holes in rental units repaired and made ready for a fresh coat of paint.
Gutters, downpipes, gate hinges, balustrade fixings and outdoor showers checked and repaired, since salt corrodes outside metal far faster on the beachfront.
Bloubergstrand runs along the coast from Big Bay towards Small Bay, with many homes and apartments only a road or a dune away from the beach. The famous view of Table Mountain comes with constant exposure: the south-easter blows sand hard through summer, and the salt in the air coats every metal surface. Hinges, handles, screws and balustrade fittings rust much faster here than a few kilometres inland.
Large glass sliding and stacking doors are a feature of many Bloubergstrand homes, built to open onto the view. Their tracks and rollers collect sand and salt, and they become heavy and noisy to open. Holiday lets and Airbnb apartments add their own wear, with frequent guests and quick turnarounds between bookings.
We replace rusted hinges, handles, towel rails, light fittings and outdoor fixings, and where possible we fit stainless or coated hardware that holds up better near the sea.
We clean out tracks, replace worn rollers and locks and adjust heavy sea-facing doors so they open easily and lock securely.
We patch walls, fix broken fittings, rehang doors and sort out the small damage guests leave behind, so the unit is ready for the next booking.
For short-term rentals, a quick maintenance visit between bookings saves bad reviews and bigger repairs later. Send us the list from your cleaner or host, and we can work with your key holder or building manager to fit the repairs into the gap between guests.
Our team also does painting in Bloubergstrand, building and renovations in Bloubergstrand and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
