Randfontein notes on painting services
Painters in Randfontein often start with the roof, because tin and IBR roofs on older homes in Randgate and Greenhills lose their coat after years of sun and hail. Cracked plaster on houses in Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus is filled and primed before a repaint. Homes near the old mine land collect dust, so a good wash comes first. Many owners book the work in autumn and winter, once the storms stop.
Randfontein walls, roofs and weather
Randfontein is a West Rand mining town, and much of its housing was built for mine workers and the families who served them. Old mine houses with tin roofs, face brick homes in Greenhills and Randgate, smaller brick houses in Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus, and newer estates on the edges make up most of the work. Highveld weather is harsh on paint: strong UV fades colour, summer storms bring hail that dents and strips roof coatings, and winter frost and dry winds crack old paint. Pale dust from the mine dumps settles on walls. Requests are usually for roof painting, exterior repaints and crack repairs, from homeowners, landlords, schools and businesses in the town centre.
Who asks for exterior painting around Randfontein, most often first:
- Homeowners: outside walls, fascias and burglar bars repainted before the paint starts peeling badly
- Landlords and sellers: a tired street front and boundary wall freshened before a house is let or sold
- Schools, churches and public buildings: school, church and clinic walls repainted in dry months with safe access
