What We Do image
At Wickfords we strive to construct perfection in the form of a house. By using timber for the main framework and foundation in combination with other recyclable materials for insulation, flooring, wall covering and roofing, we aim to build a house that does not have a huge impact on the environment but at the same time offers luxurious living.

All our building materials, fixing and fittings are of the highest quality and as most of the work is done by our own teams we can offer a guarantee of 5 years on all our work. The aluminium doors and windows as well as kitchen cupboards and build-in wardrobes are manufactured by our subsidiaries in their own factories enabling us to install everything on time. Plan-B Property Maintenance & Renovation, a new addition to the Wickfords group, is doing all the necessary plumbing and electrical installations.

Should you require a backup solar system to be installed then look no further. Reviron - Sustainable Living, is our preferred supplier of all our solar systems. All systems are designed and tested by their electrical engineer before installation. All systems are scalable and can also be designed to connect to a wind turbine.

About

About image
After moving to the UK I started working on construction sites to learn the construction business. During this time I learned a lot about how to do and how not to do things. The people I learned from were tradesmen that were doing it for the love of the profession and who took pride in their work  They gave me a lot of tips and have taught me a lot about the different trades but all of them had one thing in common - they all took pride in what they were doing.

In 2006 I started my own business called Plan-B Property Maintenance & Renovation in the UK based on the same principles that I was taught.

When we moved back to South Africa I kept my business name and started doing the same here. Now 14 years later I wanted to expand and added a few building courses to my resume. I diversified and added aluminium window and door manufacturing as well as timber frame construction to the existing portfolio and started Wickfords Construction.

At Wickfords we still believe that only the best is good enough. We strive to provide all our clients with quality products, quality service and quality time. We still take pride in our work and all building jobs are guaranteed for 5 years. We specialize in the construction of timber frame homes where the timber is sourced from local suppliers and sustainable forests. Most of the products we use for finishing are imported as they are not readily available in South Africa.

Should you be interested in our services you are more than welcome to contact us to find out more about everything we have to offer.

Timber Frame Construction - Timber frame construction is by far the least intrusive way of building. If you think that timber won't last as long as brick & mortar just have a look at Venice. The whole city is constructed on 60ft wooden poles driven into the seabed.
Cladding - Being a timber construction it has to be protected from the weather and there is nothing better than to clad it with a fibre cement board. These boards are asbestos free, easy to paint and maintenance free provided they are correctly installed.
Timber Frame Construction with fibre cement cladding - This is only a sample of what a basic timber frame house can look like.
