Wall paint & coatings in Cape Town: local notes
Colour is part of the city, from the bright houses of the Bo-Kaap to softer greys and whites in the Southern Suburbs. Walls in Newlands, Claremont and Constantia stay damp under the mountain, so ask for a mould wash and an exterior paint with good mould resistance. On the Atlantic seaboard, salt air chalks paint and rusts steel quickly, so elastomeric wall coatings and metal primers matter more there.
Cape Town walls, roofs and weather
Cape Town has a winter rainfall climate, and that sets the painting calendar: most exterior work is planned for the drier months between spring and autumn, when the south-easter blows instead. The building stock is very mixed. There are Victorian semis with corrugated roofs and timber sash windows in Woodstock and Observatory, the bright painted cottages of the Bo-Kaap, damp older homes under the mountain in the Southern Suburbs, and apartment blocks on the Atlantic seaboard where salt air eats into steel and paint. Body corporates, heritage homeowners, landlords between tenants and shop owners ask for painters, waterproofing and roof painting most, usually with a firm eye on winter leaks.
Typical paint prices requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: comparing paint prices for a room or the whole house before buying tins
- Body corporates and estates: bulk pricing on 20 L tins for a planned repaint of every block
- Landlords and sellers: finding the best price per m² for a quick, durable repaint between tenants
Local tips for Cape Town
Most asked for in Cape Town: waterproofing flat roofs and parapets before winter, and exterior repaints in summer. Where painters and paint shops work from: painters and suppliers in Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland and Salt River. A useful tip: ask for the flat roof and parapet waterproofing to be done before the first winter front.
Around Cape Town the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means comparing paint prices for a room or the whole house before buying tins. Before you agree to anything: check grade, volume solids and spread rate. Keep in mind: victorian semis in Woodstock and Observatory, salty steel in Sea Point, damp in Newlands.
