These are the painting and waterproofing jobs we do for Camps Bay homes, apartments and holiday rentals.

Sea-facing walls washed of salt, repaired and painted with coatings that hold up better against coastal sun, wind and spray.
Pitched roofs cleaned and repainted, with any rust on metal sheets and flashings treated before it spreads in the salty air.
Flat roofs, roof terraces, balconies and planter boxes sealed, which matters on the many modern Camps Bay homes with flat concrete roofs.
Camps Bay faces west straight onto the Atlantic, so exterior walls get strong afternoon sun as well as salt spray carried in on the wind. Over time that leaves a fine salt layer on walls, which stops new paint bonding if it is not washed off first, and it fades and chalks colours quickly. Metal railings and roof flashings rust if they are not treated.
Many homes here are modern designs with flat concrete roofs, roof terraces, large balconies and planters built into the structure. These details look good but collect water, and cracks in the waterproofing soon show up as stains on the ceilings below. Painting in Camps Bay is as much about keeping water and salt out as it is about colour.
We wash walls to remove salt and dirt, scrape loose paint, fill cracks and treat rust on metal before any primer or paint goes on.
We paint high walls, ceilings and stairwells using the right access equipment, and cover floors, furniture and glass carefully.
We repair cracks and failed seals, then waterproof flat roofs, terraces, balconies and planters, and repaint pitched roofs where needed.
Summer is peak season in Camps Bay, with holiday traffic, full rentals and strong south-easters that blow dust onto wet paint. For many owners the best time to paint outside is late autumn or early spring, when the house is quieter, the wind has eased and the walls are dry. Interior painting can be planned for any gap between bookings.
Our team also does handyman services in Camps Bay, building and renovations in Camps Bay and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Usually the waterproofing has cracked or a seal around a drain, parapet or planter has failed. We find the weak spots, repair them and reseal the roof.
We prefer to work between bookings, especially inside. For exterior work we can plan around guests and keep noise and mess to a minimum.
