FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
These are the handyman jobs we do most in Woodstock homes, flats and work spaces.
Shelving, hanging rails, mirrors, blinds and TV mounts fixed into old brick or exposed concrete, plus fittings for small studios and Woodstock workshops.
Old timber front doors, sash windows and security gates in Woodstock houses adjusted, repaired or fitted with new locks and handles.
Cracked plaster on party walls, crumbling patches near the floor and holes from old fittings repaired and made ready for paint.
Gutters, downpipes, front stoep railings and small roof flashings on Woodstock row houses checked and repaired before winter.
Much of Woodstock, especially Upper Woodstock on the slopes of Devil’s Peak, is made up of Victorian semi-detached and terraced houses built close together on narrow streets. These homes share walls, often have small front stoeps right on the pavement, and still have many original timber doors and windows. Old brick, lime plaster and decades of repairs mean no two jobs are quite the same.
Closer to Albert Road and Lower Main Road, old warehouses and factory buildings have been turned into flats, studios and offices with concrete walls and steel windows. Woodstock is also close to Table Bay and right in the path of the strong summer south-easter, so salty, gritty wind wears down locks, hinges and outdoor metalwork faster than in suburbs further inland.
We repair and rehang timber doors, free up sash windows, replace worn catches and fix loose skirtings. Where walls are shared with the neighbour, we take care with drilling and fixings.
In converted buildings we fit shelving, hanging systems, blinds and mounts into concrete and brick, and sort out small fixes such as cupboard doors and handles in compact kitchens.
Gutters and downpipes cleared and repaired, rusted gate hinges and security gate locks replaced, and small damp spots near front walls patched.
The salty wind off the bay takes its toll on security gates, burglar bars, hinges and locks. A yearly check, with stiff locks serviced, rusted hinges replaced and gates realigned, saves you from being caught with a front gate that will not lock.
Our team also does painting in Woodstock, flooring and tiling in Woodstock, building and renovations in Woodstock and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
