    Home extensions in Plumstead

    Plumstead extensions are mostly mid-century family houses: an extra bedroom or a larger living room on a rectangular stand.

    Family houses on ordinary stands

    The houses are often face-brick or plastered brick under tile, with a side setback that may or may not be wide enough for a room. Toward Prince George Drive the plots and the traffic differ from the quieter interior streets. Building lines decide more than estate rules do, because most of Plumstead is not an estate.

    Owners sometimes want a granny flat in the back yard. That can be a second dwelling. Say whether someone will live there full time. A covered patio is a smaller enquiry than a habitable room, and the plan question is different.

    Sending the enquiry

    Sending the form on this page is free. It uses the same enquiry path as the rest of Cape Town Construction. A provider on the Lekker Network who covers this area and this kind of work may contact you. The price and the contract, if you hire someone, are between you and that provider. This site does not promise how quickly anyone replies.

    What to put in the first message

    Measure the side setback roughly and say whether a sewer crosses it. A habitable granny flat is a different question from a covered patio. Say which you want.

    Questions

    Is Plumstead the same as Diep River?

    They meet, but this page is Plumstead’s house pattern. Name Diep River if that is the address.

    Do I need plans for a bedroom?

    If it is a new habitable room, plan on needing approval. Confirm with the City for your stand.

    What measurement helps?

    The width of the side setback and whether a sewer run crosses it.
