Your Local Century City Painters
Painting Built for a Modern, Coastal Precinct
Century City is unlike the older Cape Town suburbs. Built from the 1990s onward on low-lying reclaimed land threaded with canals, it is a dense mix of apartment blocks, townhouse complexes, office parks, and retail — nearly all of it under sectional title with an approved colour scheme, and all of it exposed to salt-laden wind off Table Bay.
That combination decides how we work. We plan access properly for multi-storey elevations, specify coastal-grade coatings that survive sun and salt, treat the movement cracks modern plaster develops, and phase the job around residents, tenants, and trading hours.

Local Knowledge
What We Look For on Century City Buildings
Paint fails for a reason. These are the issues we most often find on properties in the precinct, and each one is dealt with during preparation rather than covered over.
Salt-Laden Wind off Table Bay
Century City sits close enough to the coast to take salt on the wind, and the summer southeaster drives it straight into exposed facades. We use coastal-grade exterior systems and rust-inhibiting primers on steel so the coating does not lift within a season.
Body Corporate Colour Schemes
Most of the precinct falls under sectional title schemes and the owners' association, with approved external palettes and architectural guidelines. We paint to the approved scheme and provide the product and colour detail trustees need to sign off.
Multi-Storey Access
Apartment blocks and office buildings cannot be reached off a ladder. We plan scaffolding, cradles, or rope access during the site visit so the full elevation is reached safely and quoted honestly up front.
Canal-Side Humidity & Ground Damp
Built on low-lying reclaimed land threaded with canals and wetland, the precinct holds a high water table and constant humidity. Ground-floor walls and units near the waterways need damp treatment and longer drying windows between coats.
Movement Cracks in Modern Plaster
The thin, modern plaster and lightweight board used through the 1990s and 2000s builds crack along joints and around openings as the structure moves. We open, fill, and seal these with flexible fillers rather than skimming over them.
Occupied Offices & Apartments
Most buildings here stay in use while we work. We phase the job, use low-odour paints, and work after hours or over weekends where needed so tenants and businesses carry on as normal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Painting in Century City
Key painting questions for Century City owners, trustees, and businesses — covering apartments and blocks, body corporate schemes, coastal coatings, access, costs, timelines, and quotes.
Do you work throughout Century City?
Yes. We paint apartments, homes, offices, and commercial properties across the Century City precinct and the surrounding areas, including Milnerton, Montague Gardens, Summer Greens, Royal Ascot, Brooklyn, Edgemead, and Goodwood.
How much does painting an apartment in Century City cost?
Costs depend on the area to be painted, the condition of the surfaces, the access required, and the paint used. Single rooms can start from around R2,500, while full apartments, blocks, and commercial units are quoted after a site visit.
Do you work with body corporates and trustees?
Yes. A large part of our Century City work is for body corporates and managing agents. We quote per block or per phase, paint to the scheme's approved colours, and supply the product details and specifications trustees need for approval.
What paint do you use this close to the coast?
Salt air and constant wind call for more than standard wall paint. We use UV-stable, coastal-grade exterior systems, and rust-inhibiting primers and enamels on steel balustrades, railings, and carports so the finish holds.
Can you paint multi-storey apartment blocks?
Yes. We assess access during the site visit and include the scaffolding, cradle, or rope access in the quote, so upper floors and tall elevations are reached safely with no surprise cost later.
Can you paint our offices without closing them?
Yes. We phase commercial work and paint after hours or over weekends where needed, using low-odour products so staff can return to a usable space the next working day.
Can we stay in the apartment while you paint?
In most cases, yes. We work room by room, protect floors and furniture, and keep the unit and common areas tidy so you can carry on using the rest of your home.
Do you help with colour choices?
Yes. We can advise on colours and finishes and confirm your selections before work begins. For exteriors we work within the palette your scheme allows.
