🧱 Tiling & Flooring
What types of flooring materials do you specialize in?
We specialize in premium ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and wood-effect finishes for both residential and commercial properties across Cape Town. Our team works with all tile formats, from standard 600×600 to large-format 1200×2400 slabs.
Do you offer guarantees on flooring installations?
Yes. Every tiling installation comes with a workmanship guarantee. If any tile lifts, cracks, or grout fails due to our installation method within the guarantee period, we return to rectify it at no cost to you.
Can you assist with choosing the right materials?
Absolutely. Our team provides material guidance as part of every consultation. We advise on slip ratings, tile suitability for wet areas, grout colour combinations, and layout patterns to ensure the best aesthetic and practical result for your space.
How do I get a price estimate for my tiling project?
You can receive a detailed, fixed-price quote by booking a free site visit through our website or by contacting us on WhatsApp at +27 84 961 4552. We measure your space, assess the substrate, and provide a written quote within 24 hours — no hidden costs.
🏠 Roofing Services
Do you handle both roof repairs and new installations?
Yes. Our roofing services cover the full spectrum — from patching a single leak to a complete roof replacement or new installation on an extension. We work with IBR, Chromadek, concrete tiles, and flat roof waterproofing systems.
Are your roofing services compliant with local regulations?
Every roofing project is executed in full compliance with the National Building Regulations and SANS standards. Where required, we handle council plan submissions and obtain a Certificate of Occupancy on your behalf as part of our end-to-end service.
How do you manage safety during roof work?
Safety is non-negotiable on every Cedric Construction site. All roofing teams are equipped with certified fall-arrest harnesses, and a dedicated site foreman oversees every project from day one to ensure safe working conditions for our team and your property.
What happens if I have an urgent leak?
Contact us immediately on WhatsApp at +27 84 961 4552. We prioritise emergency leak response and will arrange a site visit as quickly as possible. Our operating hours are 07:00–17:00 on weekdays and 08:00–14:00 on Saturdays.
🎨 Painting & Plastering
Do you provide both interior and exterior painting?
Yes. We offer comprehensive interior and exterior painting services. For exterior work in Cape Town's coastal climate, we use weather-resistant, alkali-resistant paints specifically formulated to handle moisture and UV exposure, giving you a finish that lasts years, not months.
Is wall preparation included in the service?
Absolutely — proper preparation is where quality painting begins. Our service includes crack repair, skim plastering where needed, sanding, priming, and sealing before any paint is applied. We never paint over a problem; we fix it first.
How do I know the quality of the finish will last?
We use only premium paint brands and apply the correct number of coats per manufacturer specification. Our plasterers are trade-qualified with years of experience producing level 5 smooth finishes. Every job is inspected by a supervisor before handover.
Will my home stay clean during the painting process?
We take full responsibility for protecting your home throughout. All furniture, floors, and fixtures are covered before work begins, and our team cleans up thoroughly at the end of each working day. We leave your home cleaner than we found it.
🏗️ General Building
What types of building projects do you undertake?
We handle home renovations, room additions, garage and loft conversions, structural remodelling (including wall removals), and new residential builds. Whether it is a single-room upgrade or a whole-home transformation, we have the team and experience to deliver.
Do I need to hire a separate architect or engineer?
Not necessarily. We offer a concept-to-completion service that includes working with our trusted network of architects and structural engineers, managing all council plan submissions, and handling the full technical process on your behalf so you only deal with one point of contact.
How transparent is your pricing for large builds?
We provide detailed, itemised fixed-price quotes before any work begins. Our quotes break down material costs, labour, and project timelines line by line. There are no surprise invoices mid-project — any additional scope is agreed in writing before we proceed.
How will I be updated on the progress of my project?
Every project is assigned a dedicated site foreman who provides weekly progress updates with photos. You can also reach us directly via WhatsApp at any time during business hours. We believe communication is as important as craftsmanship.
