Repairs & Fittings
Shelving, curtain tracks, blinds, TV mounts and bathroom accessories fitted into concrete or older plaster walls, using the right drill bits and anchors for each.
Living a few streets from the Promenade means salt air works on hinges, window catches and metal fixtures all year. Our team handles the repairs and fittings Sea Point flats and houses need, booked around your building's rules.
FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
Most of our Sea Point work is in apartments and older blocks, with some houses on the slopes below Signal Hill and Lion's Head. These are the jobs we do most.
Shelving, curtain tracks, blinds, TV mounts and bathroom accessories fitted into concrete or older plaster walls, using the right drill bits and anchors for each.
Corroded window stays, stiff sliding doors to balconies and front door locks replaced or freed up, a regular need in flats facing the sea.
Damp-stained patches, hairline cracks and holes from a previous tenant's fittings repaired and made ready for paint between lets.
Balcony drains, downpipes, gates and outside fixtures on houses and ground-floor units cleared, refixed or replaced where salt has eaten through.
Sea Point is one of Cape Town’s densest suburbs, with apartment blocks lining Beach Road and Main Road and older Art Deco and mid-century buildings tucked into the streets in between. A lot of homes here are flats, many of them rented out, so the work we see is often about getting a unit back in shape: fittings replaced, walls patched, doors and windows sorted before a new tenant or guest arrives.
Being so close to the Atlantic, salt air is a constant. Aluminium window frames pit, steel hinges and burglar bars rust, and metal handles corrode faster than they would inland. Older buildings can also hold damp in their walls, which shows up as bubbling paint and loose plaster around windows. We look at the cause, not just the patch, and tell you if it is a body corporate matter.
We put up shelves, curtain rails, blinds, mirrors and TV brackets in concrete and plaster walls, replace towel rails and cupboard hinges, and fix the small things that make a rental feel neglected.
Corroded window catches and stays replaced, sliding balcony doors cleaned and adjusted on their runners, and locks swapped when a tenant moves out.
Before a new let or a sale, we work through a full snag list: patching walls, replacing broken fittings, re-securing loose skirting and leaving the place ready for paint or for photos.
If you own a Sea Point flat but do not live in it, we can collect keys from your agent or the building manager, work through the list and send you photos of each finished job. That makes it easier to keep a rental or holiday apartment in good order between bookings without having to be there yourself.
Our team also does painting in Sea Point, building and renovations in Sea Point and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
