Kitchen renovations range from cosmetic updates to complete layout redesigns and fixture upgrades. Water Guild handles every phase: design consultation, material sourcing, cabinetry installation, countertop work, backsplash tiling, plumbing and electrical updates, and appliance installation. We minimize disruption to your daily life and coordinate all trades seamlessly.

Typical scope includes new cabinetry, countertops (granite, quartz, or laminate), sink and tap upgrades, lighting, flooring, and paint. Structural changes (moving walls, relocating plumbing) increase cost and timeline but are fully managed. Kitchen renovations typically range from R50,000 for cosmetic updates to R200,000+ for full structural changes, with timelines of 4–12 weeks depending on complexity and material availability.

Bathroom renovations are a core Water Guild specialty. We handle everything from simple cosmetic updates to complete bathroom overhauls with new plumbing, waterproofing, tiling, fixtures, and finishes. Our team ensures compliance with health and safety standards, proper waterproofing to prevent leaks, and durable, beautiful finishes that stand up to Cape Town's climate.

Services include tile selection and installation, waterproofing membranes, plumbing relocations, fixture upgrades (basin, toilet, shower), lighting, ventilation, and paint or cladding finishes. Bathroom renovations typically range from R14,000 for cosmetic updates (new tiles, paint, fixtures) to R120,000+ for full structural changes (moving plumbing, enlarging shower areas, adding heated floors). Timelines range from 2–8 weeks depending on scope and material lead times.

Structural work requires precision and compliance—Water Guild brings both. We handle load-bearing wall modifications, foundation repairs, crack remediation, brick and plaster restoration, and structural reinforcement. Every structural project includes a detailed assessment, engineering sign-off where required, and adherence to Cape Town building codes and NHBRC standards.

Common structural projects include removing non-load-bearing walls to open spaces, reinforcing existing walls, repairing foundation cracks, addressing water damage and rot, and preparing for extensions. Costs vary widely based on the extent of damage and required remediation, typically ranging from R10,000 for minor repairs to R100,000+ for major structural work. Timelines depend on complexity and engineering requirements, usually 1–6 weeks for assessment and execution.

Adding space to your home—whether a new bedroom, granny flat, office, or entertainment area—requires careful planning and municipal approval. Water Guild manages the entire process: site assessment, design input, permit applications, structural planning, and construction. We coordinate with local authorities to ensure compliance with zoning, building codes, and municipal requirements.

Extensions can be single-story or multi-story, attached to the existing structure or standalone. Costs depend on size, foundation requirements, roofing, finishes, and permit complexity, typically ranging from R80,000 for a modest single-story addition to R300,000+ for larger, more complex projects. Timelines are typically 6–16 weeks including design, permits, and construction, with longer periods for larger additions or complex municipal processes.

Cape Town's winter rains demand robust waterproofing. Water Guild diagnoses leaks, identifies moisture sources, and applies proven waterproofing solutions: membrane applications, sealant work, roof repairs, gutter and downpipe fixes, and structural remediation where water damage has occurred. We address the root cause—not just the symptom—to prevent recurring problems.

Common waterproofing projects include bathroom and basement waterproofing, roof leak repairs, external wall waterproofing, foundation moisture barriers, and window and door frame sealing. Costs range from R5,000 for targeted sealant work to R50,000+ for comprehensive basement or roof waterproofing. Most waterproofing projects are completed within 1–4 weeks depending on the extent of the affected area and remediation required.

A fresh coat of paint or repaired plaster transforms a space. Water Guild handles interior and exterior painting, plaster repairs, wall preparation, textured finishes, and specialty coatings. We prepare surfaces properly—repair cracks, patch holes, sand imperfections—so paint adheres beautifully and lasts. Color selection and finish advice are part of the service.

Services include wall and ceiling painting, exterior house painting, plaster crack repair, patch and skim work, textured finishes, and specialty coatings (moisture-resistant, anti-mold, heat-reflective). Painting costs typically range from R5,000 for a single room to R30,000 for a whole house interior, with exterior painting generally higher depending on roof access and surface area. Most painting projects complete within 1–3 weeks depending on preparation needs and drying time.

Quality tiling requires skill and attention to detail. Water Guild sources tiles, prepares surfaces, applies waterproof adhesives and membranes, and installs with precision grout and sealing. We handle kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls and floors, entryway features, and feature walls. Tile selection guidance and design input are included to ensure your finishes reflect your vision.

Services include ceramic, porcelain, glass, and natural stone tiling, waterproof membrane application, grout and sealant work, and trim finishing. Tiling costs range from R8,000 for a kitchen backsplash to R50,000+ for extensive bathroom or flooring projects. Most tiling work completes within 1–4 weeks depending on area size and drying/curing time for adhesives and grout.

Your roof protects everything below it. Water Guild provides roof inspections to identify damage, leak sources, and maintenance needs, then executes repairs or replacement with quality materials and skilled installation. Whether patching a few tiles, replacing sections, or full roof replacement, we ensure proper ventilation, waterproofing, and structural integrity.

Services include tile or sheeting repair, flashing and gutter work, roof replacement, ventilation improvements, and preventive maintenance. Roofing costs depend heavily on roof type, size, and extent of damage, typically ranging from R10,000 for targeted repairs to R100,000+ for full replacement. Most roofing projects complete within 1–4 weeks depending on weather, material availability, and scope of work.

Preventive maintenance keeps your property in good condition and prevents costly repairs. Water Guild provides ongoing property care: minor repairs, gutter cleaning and maintenance, door and window repairs, fence and gate work, caulking and sealing, and general handyman services. Regular maintenance extends the life of your home and catches small issues before they become big problems.

Services include guttering and downpipe cleaning, minor plumbing fixes, door and window adjustments, fence and gate repairs, caulking and weatherproofing, deck and patio maintenance, and general repairs. Maintenance costs are typically modest—R2,000 to R10,000 per visit depending on the scope of work—and projects often complete within a single day or visit. Ongoing maintenance contracts can be arranged for regular property care.
