What to know locally in Cape Town
Painters in Cape Town see the same pattern every year: calls about leaks come in during the winter fronts, and the work gets done in spring and summer. Victorian houses in Woodstock, Observatory and Salt River often need timber sash windows and fretwork stripped carefully, and old gloss layers may contain lead, so ask about lead safe preparation. Body corporates in Sea Point and Green Point often need rope access or a cradle for tall blocks.
What gets painted in Cape Town
Cape Town has a winter rainfall climate, and that sets the painting calendar: most exterior work is planned for the drier months between spring and autumn, when the south-easter blows instead. The building stock is very mixed. There are Victorian semis with corrugated roofs and timber sash windows in Woodstock and Observatory, the bright painted cottages of the Bo-Kaap, damp older homes under the mountain in the Southern Suburbs, and apartment blocks on the Atlantic seaboard where salt air eats into steel and paint. Body corporates, heritage homeowners, landlords between tenants and shop owners ask for painters, waterproofing and roof painting most, usually with a firm eye on winter leaks.
Typical commercial painting requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a homeowners' association repainting guardhouses, walls and gates on one contract
- Body corporates and estates: a full complex repaint with trustees' approval, a scope and a site supervisor
- Landlords and sellers: a block of flats or a row of rental units repainted in one programme
