What to know locally in Pietermaritzburg
Painters in Pietermaritzburg spend much of their time on old corrugated roofs and timber verandahs in Clarendon, Scottsville and the streets around Church Street. Rust spots are wire brushed and primed before the roof coat, and loose sheets are fixed first. Older houses may have lead in old paint layers, so ask about lead-safe preparation. Homes in Hilton and Wembley often book a full exterior repaint in the dry winter months.
Pietermaritzburg walls, roofs and weather
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.
