Mahikeng walls, roofs and weather
Mahikeng is the capital of the North West, and a good share of painting work here comes from government buildings, offices, schools, clinics and the university campus in Mmabatho. Around them are older town houses near the historic centre, 1980s homes and flats in Mmabatho, and growing areas of RDP houses and self built homes in Montshiwa and Lomanyaneng. The climate is hot and dry for much of the year, with strong sun that fades colour and dries paint fast, and summer thunderstorms with some hail. Dust settles on walls and roofs. Government departments, contractors on public tenders, landlords and families extending their homes ask for painters and paint most.
Typical enamel and gloss paint requests in the area come from:
- Schools, churches and public buildings: durable gloss on school doors, church railings and clinic handrails
- Homeowners: fresh gloss on front doors, window frames and the burglar bars
- Builders and developers: enamel on new door frames, fascias and steel balustrades before handover
