Richards Bay walls, roofs and weather
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town, with the harbour, aluminium smelting, mineral processing and the coal terminal shaping much of its working life. Homes in Meerensee, Arboretum, Birdswood and Veld en Vlei are mostly brick and plaster, many built from the 1970s onwards, with newer estates near the lakes. Paint here faces humid subtropical heat, salt air off the harbour and the beach at Alkantstrand, and fine industrial dust that settles on walls and roofs. Summer storms test flat roofs and parapets. Common jobs are washing and repainting dusty, mouldy exteriors, coating steel in the Alton industrial area, and waterproofing. Homeowners, plant managers, port contractors and holiday home owners ask for quotes.
