Your Local Rondebosch Painters
Painting Built on Proper Preparation
Rondebosch is one of Cape Town's oldest suburbs, and it shows in the buildings: Victorian and Edwardian houses, pre-war semis with timber sash windows, and blocks of flats around UCT and Main Road. Old plaster crazes, sash windows need sealing, and the deep shade under the oaks keeps walls damp long after the winter rain has passed.
A good paint job is decided before the first coat goes on. We clean, fill, sand, and prime properly, then apply quality trade paints neatly so your interiors and exteriors look sharp and stay that way for longer. You can see our full home renovation in Rondebosch for an example of our finishes.

Local Knowledge
What We Look For on Rondebosch Homes
Paint fails for a reason. These are the issues we most often find on properties in and around Rondebosch, and each one is dealt with during preparation rather than covered over.
Rising & Penetrating Damp
Rondebosch has plenty of pre-war brickwork built without a damp course, so damp shows along skirtings and outside walls. We identify the cause and treat the surface before painting rather than sealing the problem in.
Mould & Algae Under the Oaks
The mature oaks and narrow side passages that give Rondebosch its character also keep walls in shade and moisture for months. Those surfaces are washed, treated, and sealed so mould and green algae do not bleed back through the new coat.
Hairline Cracks in Old Plaster
Century-old plaster on Victorian and Edwardian homes moves and crazes. We open, fill, and seal cracks properly so they do not reappear through the new coat within a season.
Timber Sash Windows & Sills
Many Rondebosch houses still have their original sash windows, sills, and shutters. These need stripping, sanding, priming, and enamel or sealer work to stay protected and keep working smoothly.
Tenanted Flats & Student Houses
Rental properties near UCT take heavy wear and need turning around quickly between tenancies. We work to tight handover dates with washable, hard-wearing finishes on high-traffic walls and passages.
Period Cornices & Pressed Ceilings
Decorative cornices, ceiling roses, and pressed metal ceilings clog with layers of old paint. We cut in carefully and build up coats so the detail stays crisp instead of disappearing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Painting in Rondebosch
Key painting questions for Rondebosch homeowners and landlords — covering interior and exterior work, heritage homes, rentals, damp, preparation, costs, and quotes.
Do you work throughout Rondebosch?
Yes. We paint homes and commercial properties across Rondebosch and the surrounding Southern Suburbs, including Newlands, Rosebank, Mowbray, Claremont, Observatory, Kenilworth, and Bishopscourt.
How much does painting a house in Rondebosch cost?
Costs depend on the area to be painted, the condition of the surfaces, the preparation needed, and the paint used. Single rooms can start from around R2,500, while full interiors and exteriors are quoted after a site visit.
Can you paint older or heritage homes?
Yes. Much of Rondebosch is Victorian, Edwardian, and pre-war housing with original plaster, sash windows, and period detailing. We prepare these surfaces carefully and choose paint systems that suit the age of the building.
Do you repaint flats and student rentals?
Yes. We handle repaints for apartments, student houses, and townhouse complexes around Rondebosch and UCT, and can work to a fixed handover date between tenancies.
What do you do about damp and flaking paint?
We treat these as part of preparation. Flaking paint is scraped back, cracks are filled and sealed, and damp areas are addressed before priming, so the new finish is not applied over a failing surface.
Can we stay in the house while you paint?
In most cases, yes. We work room by room, protect floors and furniture, and keep the site 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, so the finished result matches what you expect.
