Neville Banwell has been building and restoring timber structures across the Overberg since 2014, hands-on, and based right here in Betty's Bay. From hardwood decks and pergolas to custom staircases and fencing, every project is personally overseen by Neville, from first site visit to final cleanup, with a small trusted crew helping bring it to life.
That background shows in the work: real knowledge of timber selection, coastal weathering protection, and the structural fasteners that actually hold up against the salt air on this coast, not a generic build.












Every project starts with a real conversation about your site, your budget, and what actually makes sense for the space. Sometimes that's a full deck rebuild. Sometimes it's a single section of fencing.
Neville will tell you straight either way, no high-pressure sales and no disappearing once the deposit's in.

Neville has done work at my house. He is a pleasure to deal with. He communicates well and does great work. He painted our house, he built a deck, built baboon safe structures for washing and certain plants. I recommend him highly.
Neville is the best man for all challenges, he helped us to restore and rebuild our house in Betty’s, to create a wonderful place with wooden floors, shelves, doors, doorsteps, decks and so much more big and little things that had to be done, he definitely is reliable, hard working, talented and super friendly. We appreciate his efforts honestly and are so grateful for having him taking care of all that. So we were so lucky that he was recommended by a good friend and we would recommend him any time, thank you Neville from the bottom of our hearts
Neville did a fantastic job extending our existing deck, installing our Kol Kol hot tub, and adding a beautiful pergola. His workmanship was excellent, and we’re extremely happy with the end result. We highly recommend Neville to anyone looking for quality work and great service!
Banwell Homes has helped me many many times in the past. Neville and his staff recently repaired a wooden fence which was blown over in the devastating Storm in May 2026. They concreted the poles securely and repaired the garden fence. This was done well, neatly and cost effiently. I appreciate that I was informed when things were done or completed, because it is my holiday home and it is always good to know what is happening on my property. I recommend Banwell homes to anybody who needs wooden fencing or decking done in the Bettysbay and surrounding area.
Neville has done two projects for me. Firstly he built a deck and trellis. And then replaced a lot of old decking and added cannisters to an existing deck. Both jobs were brilliantly done with a minimum of fuss and no delays. Neville is totally professional.
Neville and his team do excellent work. He is a hands-on craftsman that takes pride in his work. Highly recommended!
