New paving, re-laying settled areas, and repairs across Tembisa. We will tell you honestly whether yours needs lifting and re-laying or ripping out and starting again.
Tembisa is one of Gauteng’s largest townships — dense original housing, extensive backroom rental accommodation and a substantial informal and small-business economy. That mix is what makes the building work here so varied — and why we keep teams working this area rather than running one crew across the province.
Any structural alteration or addition in Tembisa needs plans approved by City of Ekurhuleni before work starts. Building without them is a false economy — it surfaces when you sell, when you claim on insurance, and the moment a neighbour objects.
Paving services we provide in Tembisa
Driveways
Domestic and commercial driveways with a base designed for the vehicles that will actually use them.
Patios & entertainment areas
Level, well-drained outdoor living areas that tie into the house and the garden.
Walkways & garden paths
Paths, steps and edging that stay put instead of drifting apart.
Parking areas
Commercial parking with the base, falls, bays and edge restraints the traffic requires.
Base preparation & compaction
Excavation, sub-base and base layers compacted in lifts — the part that determines whether it lasts.
Drainage & stormwater
Falls, channels and outlets so water leaves rather than sitting against the house or washing out the base.
Kerbing & edge restraints
Edges that hold the paving together, without which every driveway spreads sideways in time.
Repairs & re-laying
Lifting, re-basing and re-laying settled or rutted areas, reusing your existing pavers where they are sound.
What we see in Tembisa
Additions, cottages and backrooms
A great deal of our work in Tembisa is adding usable space: a second dwelling, a flatlet, or converting existing outbuildings. What decides whether that goes smoothly is the approval side — coverage, building lines and whether a second dwelling is permitted on the stand. We check that before anyone starts drawing.
Buildings that work harder than houses
Industrial and commercial premises in Tembisa take punishment domestic buildings never see: forklift traffic on floors, constant use of ablutions, roofs spanning far greater areas. Specifying a domestic solution in that environment is a false economy, and it is the most common reason we are called back to a building someone else refurbished.
Fit-outs, tenants and handovers
Commercial space in Tembisa changes hands often, and each tenant leaves something behind — a partition, a counter, services nobody documented. When we take on a fit-out we establish what is really there before we add to it, so the next handover is cleaner than the last.

Paving in Tembisa — your questions answered
Why did my driveway sink?
Almost always the base. Paving laid on a thin layer of sand over unprepared ground will carry a person comfortably and fail under a vehicle. Re-laying the same bricks on a properly built base usually solves it permanently.
Can you re-use my existing pavers?
Often, yes — if they are structurally sound we lift, clean and re-lay them on a new base, which saves a significant part of the cost. Where they are cracked or worn through we will say so.
How long before I can drive on it?
Interlocking paving is generally usable very soon after the joints are filled and compacted. Where there is concrete edging or a bedding that needs to cure, we will give you a specific time rather than a guess.
What about drainage?
It is part of the design, not an afterthought. Sealing a large area changes where rain goes, and paving that drains towards a house causes damp problems that cost far more than the paving did.
Do you do permeable paving?
Yes. It is worth considering on large areas where stormwater is a concern, and some estates and municipalities encourage or require it.
Who does the electrical work?
Our electrical arm, Sirius Bright, handles the electrical installation and issues the Certificate of Compliance for it. It means the certification is done by people who do it daily rather than subcontracted out and chased later.
