Painting in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is known for its Victorian and Edwardian buildings, with red face brick homes, broekie lace verandahs and corrugated iron roofs around the city centre, Scottsville and Clarendon. Newer brick houses fill Hayfields, Northdale and Edendale, and Hilton has larger family homes and estates. The city sits in a valley that traps cold, misty air on winter mornings, while summer brings hot days, thunderstorms and sometimes hail. Old tin roofs need rust treatment and recoating, sash windows and timber trims need careful repainting, and face brick is usually cleaned and sealed rather than painted. Owners of heritage homes, schools and churches, and landlords renting near the university ask for painters most.
Who asks for enamel and gloss paint around Pietermaritzburg, most often first:
- Homeowners: fresh gloss on front doors, window frames and the burglar bars
- Schools, churches and public buildings: durable gloss on school doors, church railings and clinic handrails
