FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
Painting in Hermanus is mostly about dealing with salt, damp and winter weather. These are the painting services our team offers in town.
Living areas, bedrooms and ceilings repainted, with mould marks from damp winters treated first, so Hermanus homes and holiday houses look fresh again for the season.
Sea-facing walls washed free of salt, cracks filled and surfaces primed before painting, with timber window frames and doors sanded and recoated.
Roofs cleaned of lichen and salt build-up, rust on metal sheeting treated and cracked tiles replaced, then painted to protect the roof through the wet months.
Flat roofs, parapets, balconies and chimneys sealed against wind-driven winter rain, which in Hermanus can push water into places a calm shower never reaches.
Hermanus gets most of its rain in winter, often driven sideways by cold fronts off the sea, and summer brings strong south-easterly winds. Salt in the air builds up on walls and frames, and paint on the seaward side of a house can blister or chalk within a few years. Shaded walls and the areas close to the Fernkloof mountain slopes stay damp longer, which encourages mould and green staining.
The town has a wide range of building styles: older cottages near the Old Harbour, larger homes in Westcliff and Voëlklip, and newer houses in the estates on the edge of town. Some areas and estates have rules about exterior colours, so it pays to check before choosing a new shade for the outside.
We wash walls to lift salt and grime, treat mould and algae, scrape loose paint, fill cracks and prime. Without this, even good paint will peel quickly in Hermanus.
We paint interior walls and ceilings, outside walls, boundary walls, timber window frames, doors and fascias, sanding and recoating woodwork that has dried out in the sun and wind.
We clean and paint roofs, deal with rust on sheeting, and waterproof flat roofs, parapet walls, balconies and the base of chimneys where leaks often start.
Outside painting needs dry weather and calmer winds, so late spring and autumn are often the best windows in Hermanus. If you own a holiday home, booking before the December season means the house is finished and the scaffolding is gone before the family arrives.
Our team also does handyman services in Hermanus, flooring and tiling in Hermanus, building and renovations in Hermanus and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Yes. We arrange keys and access, do the work and send photos as it progresses. Many owners book us before the summer holidays.
