Gqeberha walls, roofs and weather
Gqeberha is a windy coastal city, and the wind shapes how paint lasts. Homes in Summerstrand, Humewood and Walmer face salt spray, sand and wind-driven rain, while older Victorian terraces in Central and on the hill above the harbour have plastered walls, timber sash windows and tin roofs. Newton Park and Lorraine hold many brick and plaster family homes, and the northern areas around Motherwell and KwaZakhele have many smaller brick houses. Rain can fall in any season, so there is no long dry window for painting. Salt chalks and blisters paint, steel rusts near the beach and flat roofs leak. Homeowners, body corporates of beachfront flats, landlords near the university and factories all ask for quotes.
The requests we see from Gqeberha usually come from:
- Homeowners: a brush set and roller kit to repaint a bedroom or touch up a lounge
- Body corporates and estates: rollers and poles for maintenance staff touching up common walls and passages
