FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
Camps Bay homes face the sea and the wind every day. These are the handyman jobs we do most often on this stretch of the Atlantic seaboard.
Corroded towel rails, shelving, mirrors, blinds and TV brackets replaced and secured, with fixings chosen to cope better in a salty coastal setting.
Sliding doors that drag, stiff locks, rusty hinges and window latches loosened by the wind repaired or replaced so the house seals properly.
Cracks, bubbling plaster and holes left by old fittings patched and smoothed, ready to paint, inside and on sea-facing walls.
Gutters, downpipes, gates, balustrades and garden walls checked for rust and damage and fixed before the next season of wind and rain.
Camps Bay climbs steeply from Victoria Road up towards the Twelve Apostles, and most homes are built on sloping plots with views over the bay. Many are modern houses with large glass sliding doors, flat roofs, decks and pools, while others are older homes that have been extended over the years. Steps, retaining walls and tight driveways are part of daily life here.
Being right on the sea means salt gets into everything. Metal hinges, locks, gate brackets and outdoor fittings corrode far faster than they would inland, and the strong south-easter in summer rattles windows, loosens fittings and slams doors. Regular maintenance matters more here than in most Cape Town suburbs.
We replace rusted hinges, handles, towel rails and brackets, and use fixings that hold up better near the sea, so you are not redoing the same job next year.
Large sliding doors are common here and sand and salt wear their tracks and rollers. We clean, adjust or replace runners and locks so the doors glide and close securely.
Gates, balustrades, gutters, downpipes and garden walls. If we find something bigger, such as a rotten deck board or a cracked retaining wall, we let you know before going ahead.
Many Camps Bay houses are holiday homes or short-term rentals whose owners are often away. We can sort out repairs between guest bookings, work with your property manager on access and send photos when the work is done, so the house is ready for the next arrivals without you having to be there.
Our team also does painting in Camps Bay, building and renovations in Camps Bay and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
