What to know locally in Cape Town
Many paint shops and trade suppliers are in Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland, with smaller shops through Claremont, Woodstock and the city bowl. Contractors buy waterproofing membranes, bitumen primers and torch-on rolls ahead of winter, and the stock can run short after the first big front. Spray equipment for large complexes can be hired in the industrial areas. Ask about delivery to blocks with no parking.
Painting in Cape Town
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.
