Nothing Between the Building and the Atlantic
Mouille Point is a narrow strip of apartment blocks facing straight out at the Atlantic, and the exposure here is a category beyond ordinary coastal. This is direct sea spray, not salt-laden air. Concrete spalls faster, balustrades and flashings corrode faster, window seals fail sooner, and coatings break down years earlier than the same products would a kilometre inland.
That makes maintenance here planned rather than reactive. Buildings on this strip need a realistic cycle and a specification chosen for the position, and the trustees who budget for it spend considerably less over a decade than those who wait for the concrete to start falling.

Serving Mouille Point & Beyond
Building Along the Atlantic Seaboard
Mouille Point sits at the top of the Atlantic Seaboard, and we work right along it — Green Point, Three Anchor Bay, Sea Point, Bantry Bay, and the V&A Waterfront — as well as the neighbouring City Bowl and the wider Cape Town area. Wherever your building is, we bring the same standard of workmanship, clear communication, and reliable project management.
Frequently Asked Questions About Building in Mouille Point
Common questions from Mouille Point trustees and owners — covering spalling concrete, window ingress, sea spray exposure, weather delays, and quotes.
Do you work throughout Mouille Point?
Yes, across Mouille Point and the rest of the Atlantic Seaboard, including Green Point, Three Anchor Bay, Sea Point, and the V&A Waterfront.
Why does our building deteriorate faster than others nearby?
Because of where it stands. Mouille Point is right on the seafront with nothing between the buildings and the Atlantic, so the exposure here is direct spray rather than general coastal salt air. Concrete spalling, corroding balustrades, failed window seals, and coating breakdown all happen materially faster in this position than they do a few hundred metres inland. That is not a defect in your building — it is the environment, and the maintenance cycle has to be planned around it.
Water comes in around our windows in a storm. Is that a window fault?
Usually it is the perimeter rather than the window itself. Driven spray finds failed sealant at the frame perimeter, tired sills without proper drips, and reveals that were never detailed for this exposure. We test to find the actual entry point and rework the perimeter detail, rather than replacing a window that was not the problem.
What causes the concrete to flake off our balconies?
Spalling. Salt reaches the reinforcing steel inside the concrete, the steel corrodes, and as it corrodes it expands and forces the concrete off from the inside. Filling and painting over it achieves nothing because the corrosion continues behind the patch. The repair is to cut back to sound concrete, expose and treat the steel, and rebuild to profile.
Do you work with body corporates and managing agents?
Yes. Mouille Point is almost entirely sectional title, and most of our work here is for body corporates — concrete repairs, balcony waterproofing, and facade programmes. We quote in a format that can be put to trustees and phase work so it can be funded across financial years where needed.
Does the wind hold up the work?
Regularly, and we plan for it rather than promising around it. Working at height on the seafront is not safe in a strong southeaster, and coatings should not be applied in driven salt spray. We build realistic weather allowance into the programme, because a schedule that assumes clear conditions on this stretch of coast is not a real schedule.
