Request a quoteEikestad Plumbing was the Service Provider. Would rate their service as 5 as they responded timeously with the issues reported resolved with the quality that appears to very good as no issues experienced after it was fixed...We are very satisfied. Also Andre, the owner, quite a jovial person and very professional. Will use them again in the future.
Thanks Peter and I must add it makes it easier when the client is the friendliest and very hospitable was a great pleasure meeting you and hope we can continue doing business in future
The other leads never called me, only Andre called me. He was very professional, and did a great job fixing my gutter and reconnecting my downpipe. He kept me informed about time, and came well prepared. He even told me that I could call him should I have any other plumbing needs.

Request a quoteI found Denver and Morne both serious when discussing the project prior to quoting, and engaging/approachable about any query I raised before and during the work. At no point did they rush the work or cut corners. The finished job looks really good. I got five quotes in all: they were the most expensive, and significantly so relative to the next highest quote. I would have liked to pay less, but chose them as I felt they understood the work required and would not leave me with worries about quality.
They were very efficient, responded in the middle of the night and kept constant communication.

Recent jobs for House extension, Cape Town
Renovation/remodel
I am looking for someone who can remodel the house. A new roof needs to be installed with tiles. Ceiling and tiling of the whole house. Removing the bath in the bathroom and making it a walk in shower. Plastering of the house outside and putting in face brick. The front of the house will be cladding stone. Leveling of the house to be even before tiling.
Renovation/remodel
Upgrade of bathroom: remove existing tiles on floors and walls; Install new mid-range tiles; convert large shower into a bath/shower combo with clear partition and recessed shelf; upgrade existing double vanity with new countertop, sinks, and hardware; remove bidet but keep existing toilet; paint section of walls where not retiled; (Not sure if plans are required?)
Renovation/remodel
It is a room below the main house that is used for storage, we want to change it into a bedroom with a bathroom (including shower and toilet) We need it to have the same finishes as the main house. The only difficulty will be getting the plumbing for a toilet in there as it may need to be pumped upwards into the main sewage line.
New build
I'm looking for a quotation to build our wendy house home over. It needs to be build from scratch, it's a little place and currently only has 1 bedroom. We are five in the house, myself, husband, our twin boys aged 10 and baby daughter. We've been in a financial crisis for a while due to the high cost of living and looking for an option where we can pay it off on a monthly basis.
Other construction work (boundary wall, pool, etc.)
Steelworks: See link for plan and measements: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Amd_eMpiyfpkpKQNyNeeOYvn3sSAMg?e=5udAIn The purpose is to be a barrier around my solar battery to prevent it being bumped by a car. I am not too fussy about the steal used (it needs to be galvanised), but if a car bumps it it should hold. (it is in the garage, so will be a soft bump) It is just the frame, no mesh or cover is needed. I have probably over-engineered the design, so happy to listen if you have a better approach. I think 20mm square or angle tubing will be plenty strong.
