Interior Painting
High ceilings, cornices, picture rails, doors and walls in older homes painted neatly, with cracked plaster repaired first.
Damp is the biggest enemy of paint in Rondebosch, where winter rain off the mountain soaks old plastered walls and shady gardens are slow to dry out. Our painters deal with the damp and cracks first, then paint for a finish that lasts, so send us photos and your street for a written quote.
FIRE FLAMES SERVICES
These are the painting and waterproofing services Rondebosch homeowners, landlords and body corporates ask us for.
High ceilings, cornices, picture rails, doors and walls in older homes painted neatly, with cracked plaster repaired first.
Outside walls, window frames and boundary walls prepared and painted with coatings that suit the damp, shaded conditions near the mountain.
Corrugated iron and tiled roofs cleaned, rust and moss treated, and the roof repainted to protect it through the long wet season.
Parapet walls, flat roofs, balconies and window sills sealed so rain stops finding its way into old walls.
Rondebosch is on the wetter side of the Peninsula. Cold fronts drop much of their rain against the slopes of Table Mountain, and the suburb’s large oaks and gardens keep many walls in shade for most of the winter. Paint on these walls stays damp for longer, which leads to mould, blistering and peeling.
Many homes here are old, with thick plastered walls that can draw up moisture from the ground, and some have corrugated iron roofs that rust if the paint is not kept up. Older properties may also need heritage approval for changes to the outside, so if you are thinking of a very different colour scheme, it is worth checking first.
We find the source of damp where we can, treat mould and allow walls to dry before painting. Painting straight over a damp wall is a waste of money.
Cornices, picture rails, panel doors and sash windows take patience. We prepare and paint them carefully so the detail of the house still shows.
We clean, treat and repaint roofs, and seal flat roofs, parapets and balconies before the rain season to stop leaks where they start.
With so many flats and houses let to students and young professionals, plenty of Rondebosch painting is done between leases. We can repaint a flat in a few days, fill holes and cover scuffs, and work with your agent on keys and access so the place is fresh for the next tenant.
Our team also does handyman services in Rondebosch, building and renovations in Rondebosch and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
