Mbombela notes on painting services
Lowveld painters in Mbombela spend a lot of time on preparation: washing mould off walls in Sonheuwel and Nelindia, treating it, and fixing cracks before the rains. Waterproofing flat roofs, parapets and balconies is in high demand from about August, and roof painting on guesthouses toward Hazyview and White River is common. Paint early in the day in summer, because walls in direct sun get too hot by noon.
Mbombela walls, roofs and weather
Mbombela sits in the Lowveld, where hot humid summers, heavy afternoon thunderstorms and strong sun are hard on paint. Mould and mildew grow on shaded walls and under eaves, damp creeps into north and south faces after the rains, and dark colours fade quickly in the heat. The housing ranges from plastered homes with wide verandas in Sonheuwel and West Acres to estates and complexes in Riverside and Steiltes, and growing family homes in KaNyamazane and Matsulu. Thatch lodges and guesthouses around White River and Hazyview ask for timber treatment and repaints. Waterproofing flat roofs and balconies before the rainy season is one of the most common requests.
The requests we see from Mbombela usually come from:
- Homeowners: outside walls, fascias and burglar bars repainted before the paint starts peeling badly
- Body corporates and estates: block walls, boundary walls and gates repainted in one approved colour scheme
- Shops, offices and restaurants: shop fronts and office buildings repainted on a schedule that keeps entrances open
