KwaZulu-Natal notes on painting services
Durban painters spend much of their time on complexes in Umhlanga, Musgrave and Westville, where trustees phase exterior repaints and flat roof waterproofing. Holiday homes in Ballito, Salt Rock and on the South Coast near Margate are often painted in winter, when the weather is drier. In Pietermaritzburg, contractors repaint older brick and timber homes in Scottsville and Clarendon. Factories in Pinetown, Jacobs and Richards Bay hire commercial painting contractors for steel, floors and large roofs.
KwaZulu-Natal walls, roofs and weather
KwaZulu-Natal is the province where mould is the first thing a painter checks. Along the coast from Port Shepstone through Durban to Ballito and Richards Bay, humid air, warm nights and salt spray feed black mould on south walls, rust on burglar bars and gutters and peeling on cheap exterior paint. Plastered homes, sectional title complexes in Umhlanga and on the Berea, older timber and tin homes and new North Coast estates all need a thorough wash first. Inland, Pietermaritzburg has Victorian red brick buildings and misty winters, and the Midlands and northern areas around Newcastle see frost and storms. Homeowners, body corporates, holiday home owners and factories all ask for painters.
Who asks for house painting around KwaZulu-Natal, most often first:
- Homeowners: the family home repainted inside and out in one planned job with one guarantee
- Body corporates and estates: a unit owner repainting inside while the body corporate handles the outside
- Landlords and sellers: a rental house repainted in neutral colours between tenants or before listing
Local tips for KwaZulu-Natal
Most asked for in KwaZulu-Natal: mould treatment and exterior repaints, complex repaints and flat roof waterproofing. Where painters and paint shops work from: pinetown, Springfield Park, Umhlanga Ridge, Pietermaritzburg and Richards Bay. A useful tip: ask for a fungicidal wash and a mould resistant exterior coat on every coastal wall.
Around KwaZulu-Natal the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means the family home repainted inside and out in one planned job with one guarantee. Before you agree to anything: fix leaks and damp before any paint. Keep in mind: mould on Durban south walls, salt rust on the Bluff and in Richards Bay, old brick.
