What gets painted in East London
East London is a river port city on the Buffalo River, with a mild, humid coastal climate and mostly summer rain. Quigney, close to the beachfront, has older houses and flats with plastered walls and tin roofs, while Beacon Bay, Nahoon and Gonubie have bigger brick and plaster homes and newer complexes. Vincent and Berea hold older family homes, and Mdantsane has many smaller brick houses. Salt air and damp give paint a hard time near the sea, with mould on shaded walls, rust on steel and timber that swells and peels. Factories at West Bank keep industrial painters busy. Homeowners, landlords renting near the beachfront and body corporates of seaside flats ask for quotes most.

- Homeowners: a few tins tinted for a lounge or bedroom, with advice on the right primer
