A really good company (literally a 2 man show) that provides electric fencing, security cameras, wiring and electric garage doors and anything around that is BrandTech Systems. Their service is very reliable, they not only make appointments beforehand but also re-confirm prior arriving at your house. Typically, a call out fee is charged in addition [...]
For the construction of our pool we used Top Slab which is a very experienced company. They subcontracted the shutter and form work to someone else (who was not as organized as them) but the actual concrete work and rebar steel work was definitely done professional. The following unit rates were quoted to us in [...]
A company that can be truly recommended: Carel from Ridd’s Aqua Center is probably the most likable and recommendable builder that we have worked with. Over a period of 6 months he has overseen the construction of our new pool, and despite multiple sub-contractors (that all here and there caused for hick-ups), Carel is someone [...]
We recently completed all building on our plot and had to clean all the sand stone tiles from cement and other marks. Through neighbors we got recommended to a company called Natural Stone Treatment which is a South African family run business. The cost for tile cleaning was about 150 Rand per square meter, and [...]
For our deck we required a new stainless steel balustrade that mirrored the existing design of railings on our patios. I contacted a couple of companies and decided to go by price only, as the product is straight forward 316 polished stainless steel.

As part of our landscaping we wanted to plant some grown trees in order to cover the roof of the house in front of us, for better view. We contacted three companies. Collins Lyndon, David Frost and Dean from Habitat. Although all of them came to inspect the site, only Dean really made the effort [...]
As part of a huge re-structuring of our garden, we had to buy about 80 cubes of topsoil and compost. Various companies quoted (Mark Dawson from Alan Dawson Gardens being a big rip-off with plus 100% extra margins after giving them our Camps Bay address but Master Organics has been providing a steady and great, [...]
Last year, we had to get rid of some huge pine trees in our garden, and I contacted three companies (Top Fell, eco tree, Bassons Tree falling and bush cleaning) of which Top Fell seemed to be providing the best service, and came out cheapest. Was very happy with them – quote came via email [...]
A while ago, I decided to install solar panels in order to reduce the energy cost for my warm water geysers, and through another resident, was recommended to use Solarzone. They are based in Summerset West, and after driving all the way out there, I found them very pleasant and incredibly knowledgeable – they had [...]
