Durban notes on painting services
Painters in Durban often start an exterior job with a mould wash and a scrape of blistered paint, because damp walls in Glenwood and on the Bluff hold spores under old coats. Beachfront blocks along the Golden Mile and in Umhlanga Rocks need a cradle, rope access or scaffolding, plus trustees' approval and a clear scope of work. Flat concrete roofs in Morningside and Musgrave are usually resealed with a membrane before the summer rains.
Painting in Durban
Durban's housing runs from the plastered Edwardian and Art Deco homes of the Berea and Glenwood to apartment blocks along the Golden Mile and in Umhlanga, brick homes in Chatsworth and Phoenix, and big face brick and plaster family houses in Westville. The subtropical climate is hard on paint. Salt air chalks and blisters coatings near the beachfront, warm humid months feed mould on south facing walls and under eaves, and summer storms drive rain into hairline cracks and through tired flat roofs. Exterior repaints, mould treatment and flat roof waterproofing are the most common requests. Homeowners, body corporates of beachfront blocks, landlords between tenants and shops along Florida Road all ask for painters and paint here.
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
