FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
From a single bedroom to the whole outside of the house and the roof, these are the painting services we offer in Kenilworth.
High ceilings, cornices, picture rails and skirting boards in Kenilworth's older rooms painted with sharp lines, as well as quick refreshes for modern apartments.
Outside walls, timber windows, doors and boundary walls cleaned, repaired and painted to stand up to the rain and damp that settle in each winter.
Moss and lichen washed off tiled and corrugated roofs under the area's trees, followed by repairs and fresh paint.
Parapets, flat roof sections, balconies and window sills sealed so water no longer finds its way into walls and ceilings.
The Southern Suburbs are among the wettest parts of Cape Town, and Kenilworth’s position below the mountain means walls stay damp for long periods in winter. Shaded walls and those under trees grow mould and moss, and older lime-plastered houses can draw moisture up from the ground. Paint applied over damp or dirty plaster soon blisters and peels.
Many homes here are older, with timber window frames, wooden doors and decorative plaster details. These surfaces need sanding, filling and priming rather than a quick coat over the top. Corrugated iron and older tiled roofs are common too, and under all the leaf cover they collect moss that holds water against the surface.
We fill cracks in old plaster, repair cornice joins, and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork with care. Tall rooms are done with proper access equipment so the ceiling lines are clean.
Timber windows and doors are sanded, filled and primed before painting, and outside walls are washed and treated for mould first. This is what helps the paint keep its colour and grip through the winter.
We clean roofs, treat rust on corrugated sheeting, fix loose or broken tiles and repaint. Leaking parapets and flat sections are waterproofed before the roof paint goes on.
Exterior and roof painting in Kenilworth works best between late spring and early autumn, when walls have dried out after the rain. Booking your outside painting early in the dry season gives the paint time to cure well before the next winter, and interior painting can be done in any month of the year.
Our team also does handyman services in Kenilworth, flooring and tiling in Kenilworth, building and renovations in Kenilworth and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

We clean and treat the mould before painting and look for the cause, such as a leaking gutter or poor ventilation. Painting straight over mould only hides it for a short while.
Yes. We sand back loose paint, fill small rotten spots, prime bare wood and then paint. Badly rotten sections are pointed out before we start.
Yes. We clean the roof, treat any rust, replace loose screws where needed and then paint. This is done in dry weather so the coating bonds properly.
The drier months from late spring to early autumn are best, as the walls need to be dry before painting. We can plan the job so it is finished well before winter.
