Homes and buildings in Cape Town

Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River, and old Cape homes in Claremont, often have Oregon pine boards or original clay and encaustic tiles that deserve careful repair. Atlantic Seaboard apartments and Southern Suburbs houses want large porcelain slabs, and wet stoeps and pool surrounds call for R11 non-slip finishes. Century City and Montague Gardens have offices, showrooms and warehouses needing hard-wearing floors. Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain add steady demand from owners tiling room by room. Showrooms and tilers work across the peninsula, and many specialise in stone and bathrooms.
