Our story

It started with hardwood.
It still does.

A small team, a stack of hardwood, and a reputation to build one floor at a time.

There is real satisfaction in sanding a forty-year-old parquet floor back to bare timber and watching the grain come up like new.

Impi Teak began the way most good timber businesses do. Twenty years on, the work runs from a single bedroom to full commercial fit-outs.

Rooted in hardwood. Rhodesian teak, kiaat, balau, garapa and oak — timbers that end up in buildings meant to look good for decades rather than seasons. The same instinct is why we keep reclaimed parquet in the workshop: old blocks have already proved they last.

Restoration first. Given the choice between replacing a floor and bringing back the one already there, we would rather bring it back.

What we believe

What we will
not compromise

These are the reasons clients call us back for the second, third and fourth project.

01

Craftsmanship

If it would not pass in our own home, it does not get signed off.

02

Honesty

Real advice, even when the honest answer is a smaller job.

03

Material integrity

Graded, kiln-dried, moisture-tested. The material is the floor.

04

Reliability

An agreed start date, a written programme, a crew that arrives.

05

Respect for your space

Dust control, protected furniture, a tidy site every evening.

06

Longevity over speed

Rather an extra day on preparation than a floor that cups in two summers.

Our mission

To supply and install timber floors, decks and structures that outlive the trend that inspired them.

To be the timber contractor South African architects, builders and homeowners recommend without hesitation — for craftsmanship that stands up to scrutiny, and for restoring rather than replacing wherever we can.

Our experience

Where the work
has taken us

Private homes, estates, restaurants, offices, lodges and renovation contracts — across South Africa and beyond. There are forty of them in the project gallery.

01

Residential

The majority of our work: full-house installations, single-room upgrades, parquet restorations in older homes, and pool decks and pergolas. We work around families, pets and half-finished renovations — it is normal for us.

02

Commercial

Restaurant and coffee-shop floors that survive chair scrape and spillage. Office fit-outs installed after hours so tenants keep trading. Retail, showrooms and hospitality venues where the floor is part of the brand.

03

Timber construction & renovations

Pergolas, carports, balconies, staircases, exposed beams, slat ceilings and cladding — fabricated in Midrand and installed by our own teams. We also take on small building renovations where timber leads the job.

How we work

From first call
to final coat

A predictable process, so you always know what happens next.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    Tell us the rooms, the look and roughly the square metres. We talk through species and finishes and give a realistic budget range.

  2. 02

    Free site measure

    We measure, check the sub-floor and take moisture readings, then issue a fixed written quotation — usually within two working days.

  3. 03

    Preparation & installation

    Timber acclimatises on site. We level the sub-floor, set out carefully and install, protecting your furniture throughout.

  4. 04

    Finish & handover

    Sanding, sealing or oiling, then a walkthrough with you and written aftercare guidance.

Restoring is often better value than replacing — and we say so when it is not.

03

Aftercare that continues

Written maintenance guidance, and a team you can phone in five years.
