Inslit paints homes, boundary walls, businesses and community buildings across the Cape Flats, including Athlone, Rylands, Gatesville, Lansdowne, Crawford, Hanover Park, Manenberg, Mitchells Plain, Philippi, Grassy Park, Ottery and Retreat. Whether it is one garden wall or a whole building, we prepare properly and paint to last, and we back the work with a 5-year guarantee.
Built for wind, sand and sun
The Cape Flats are flat, open and exposed. In summer the south-easter blows sand against every surface, and the sun is strong all year. In winter the north-wester brings driving rain. That combination is hard on paint: it chalks, fades, cracks and peels faster than it would in a sheltered spot.
The answer is preparation and the right products. Before we paint, we wash down the surface, scrape away loose paint, fill cracks and prime bare or chalky plaster so the new coats bond properly. On exposed walls we recommend exterior-grade coatings made for harsh conditions. It costs a little more upfront than a quick coat of paint, but it lasts years longer.
Boundary walls that look good from the street
Boundary walls are one of the most common jobs we do in this area. A freshly repaired and painted wall makes a home look cared for and adds to its value. We fix cracks and broken plaster, deal with damp patches at the base, prime and paint in the colour of your choice, and leave the pavement clean. See our painting page for how we approach boundary walls and exteriors.
Businesses, churches, mosques and community halls
The Cape Flats are full of busy local businesses, from shops and takeaways on Klipfontein Road and Imam Haron Road to workshops and warehouses near Epping and Philippi. We do commercial and industrial painting inside and out, including roof sheeting. We also paint churches, mosques, schools and community halls, and we can plan the work around services, school terms and events so the building stays usable.
Feature walls and floors at home
Painting is the main reason people call us here, but more and more homeowners on the Cape Flats are adding a feature wall to the lounge or dining room. A Pandomo or stucco wall turns a family room into a space you are proud to welcome people into, and our granite-look finish is tough enough for busy homes with children. For garages and home workshops, an epoxy floor keeps dust down and cleans up easily.
