Cupboards, Flooring & Home Fittings in Newlands

Newlands is a mix of older character homes and blocks of flats, tucked in against the forest and known for getting more rain than most of Cape Town. That combination shapes the work we do here: flat owners usually need smart, space-saving storage, while homeowners in the older Victorian and Edwardian houses are often dealing with doors and cupboards that have taken strain from the damp winters. CDC Projects covers cupboards, flooring, doors and plumbing, and we adjust our approach depending on which of those two situations you are in. Either way, the process starts the same: a proper measure-up before anything is quoted.

Our services in Newlands

Bedroom cupboards for flats and smaller rooms

In a flat, every centimetre counts. We design bedroom cupboards that go right up to the ceiling to use the full height of the room, with internal layouts built around hanging space, drawers and shelving rather than a generic split.

• Floor-to-ceiling units for extra storage in a small room
• Sliding doors where a hinged door would eat into floor space
• Internal drawer stacks instead of a separate chest of drawers

Free-standing cupboards

If you are renting or in a sectional title unit where altering the built structure is not an option, a free-standing cupboard gives you proper storage without needing body corporate approval for permanent changes. It is also a practical option if you expect to move within a few years and want to take the storage with you.

Kitchen cupboards in Newlands

Older Newlands kitchens tend to be smaller than newer builds, so layout matters more than size. We fit kitchen cupboards designed around your actual appliances and workflow, not a standard flat-pack layout. Where space is tight, we look at going taller rather than wider to keep the counter space usable.

Laminate flooring

With the higher rainfall in this area, flooring takes a bit more punishment from wet shoes and umbrellas dripping in the hallway. Laminate flooring is a hard-wearing option that copes well with that kind of daily traffic, and it is a straightforward way to freshen up a passage or lounge.

Doors and lock fitting

Timber doors in older Newlands homes swell in the wet months and stick in their frames. Our door installation and lock fitting service sorts out sticking doors, worn locks and general realignment, whether it is a single door or a full set.

DIY cupboards

Bought a flat-pack cupboard for a small flat and do not have the space or time to build it yourself? Our DIY cupboard assembly service is a quick, affordable way to get it done properly, and we can usually turn it around faster than a full built-in job.

Plumbing

Kitchen renovations in older homes sometimes uncover plumbing that needs updating before new cupboards go in. Our plumbing service can handle that as part of the same job, so you are not left waiting on a second contractor before the cupboards can go in.

Common questions from Newlands homeowners

Do you work in blocks of flats?

Yes, we regularly install cupboards in flats around Newlands. Let us know about parking, lift access or building rules when you book so the install day runs smoothly.

Will damp affect my new cupboards?

We use boards suited to the local climate and can talk you through finishes that hold up better in damp conditions, particularly for ground-floor rooms.

Can you fix an existing cupboard instead of replacing it?

Sometimes. If it is a door alignment or hinge issue we can often repair rather than replace. We will tell you honestly if replacement is the better option.

Do free-standing cupboards need body corporate approval?

Generally no, since nothing is fixed to the walls or floor, but it is worth checking your specific building rules if you are unsure.

How far in advance should I book?

It depends on the season and how busy our schedule is, but the earlier you reach out, the more likely we can fit your install date around your plans.
