RENU Decorators Services
 


Painting


Interior and exterior painting to body corporates, homeowner associations (HOA), commercial, industrial, offices and private residential homes.  Our projects include sectional title units, flats, hotels, hospitals, churches, schools, shopping centres, townhouses, factories, warehouses, retail premises and offices. 

Specialised textured and decorative coatings such as Earthcote Marmoran and various other paint techniques.




Roof cleaning and roof painting

Renu Decorators uses the latest airless spray guns and manual block-brush methods to coat roofs.  Prior to painting, all surfaces are hydro blasted with high pressure cleaners, to ensure correct preparation procedures are followed.

Before painting commences, repairs and specifically waterproofing problems are attended to, using different waterproofing products, to suit the specific problem.





Rope Access and Access equipment

Rope access allows workers to access challenging areas without the use of scaffolding, cradles or mobile elevated platforms.  It’s quicker and more cost effective than traditional scaffolding techniques. Our field of expertise covers industrial, commercial and sectional title properties.  Rope access, also known as abseiling, is a safe and proven technique for accessing worksites that are inaccessible by scaffolding.

 



 


Waterproofing

Waterproofing means resisting the ingress of water under specified conditions.  Water penetration in buildings can be costly and cause major structural and internal damage.  Renu Decorators’ services includes the repairs of penetrating damp, flat roofs leaking, sealing of parapets, sealing of roof flashings, gutters leaking or replacement thereof, lifting and sealing of balcony floors.

Bitumen torch-on got its name from the installation process which is done by torching the sheets in the overlap area.  It is highly recommended for most flat concrete roofs.  Bitumen is resistant to extreme temperatures and is considered to have a significant service life.  Bitumen torch-on can be applied to Concrete Roofs, Balconies, Box Gutters, etc.

The Acrylic Membrane and fibre paint is cost-effective and uncomplicated.  It is a water-based acrylic waterproofing solution, used in conjunction with a membrane that forms a strong barrier against water and moisture.  It withstands cracking and movement of the underlying substrate and is ideal for roofs, concrete slabs, parapets, flashings and walls.
The area of application is cleaned properly to remove acids, loose paint, dust, rust, corrosion and old waterproofing. An undercoat of acrylic fibre paint is applied to the substrate, the membrane is applied and finally the topcoat of UV stable acrylic fibre paint is applied.

 


 


Redecoration and Restoration of buildings

 

Dampproofing and Rising damp

The damp proofing treatment to prevent rising damp is a necessary service in and around Cape Town because of our severe weather and high water table in many areas. Most older buildings lack the installation of damp coursing at construction stage or failure of the old bitumen-based damp course layer. Rising damp is moisture rising up the wall by capillary action which is made possible by the damp course being damaged / decayed, incorrectly installed or omitted entirely. Evidence of rising damp: Visible signs of blistering paintwork, hygroscopic plaster and efflorescent salting.

 
 

Structural repairs and spalling repairs

Although concrete is a strong substance, it requires steel reinforcing and over time and through exposure to the elements, the steel is susceptible to deterioration due to moisture ingress which causes carbonisation and/or chlorides that affect the steel. It is imperative that this deterioration is addressed timeously in order to avoid larger costs based on structural damage over time.
