What gets painted in Kimberley
Kimberley grew up around diamond mining, and many of its older houses still show it: Victorian and Edwardian homes with corrugated iron roofs, deep verandas, decorative cast iron and timber trim, especially in Belgravia and the older central suburbs. Those tin roofs and verandas need rust treatment and regular roof paint in the hot, dry climate, where summer temperatures run high and winter nights can bring frost. Newer face brick houses, Galeshewe and Roodepan homes, government buildings and shops make up the rest of the work. Homeowners restoring older houses, landlords, schools, churches and government departments ask for painters, roof painting and supplies most.
Typical paint brushes and rollers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a brush set and roller kit to repaint a bedroom or touch up a lounge
- Schools, churches and public buildings: durable rollers and poles for high school halls and church walls
- Landlords and sellers: a basic roller and tray set kept for quick touch-ups between tenants
