Plinth Renovations and Construction, Goodwood

Plinth Renovations and Construction is a building and waterproofing company based at 64 Oxford Street, Richmond Estate, Goodwood, working across Cape Town and the northern and southern suburbs.

Most of the work is water: roofs, parapets, balconies, box gutters and the ceilings underneath them. Cape Town's north-westerly fronts drive rain sideways across roofs and under tiles, so a leak usually starts at a junction, a flashing or a neglected upstand rather than in the middle of a roof. We read moisture through the plaster, hose test where the source is unclear, and specify the system for the substrate in front of us rather than the one that is easiest to supply.

The renovation side covers kitchens, bathrooms, full homes, tiling, plastering and painting. Work runs to a written scope with the junctions finished before the surface goes on, and layers photographed so the client sees what is under the membrane before it is covered. Renovations carry a 12-month workmanship warranty.

Estimates are free and written, after a site visit. We do not price waterproofing per square metre over the phone, because access, substrate and the number of details decide the cost far more than area does.
