Durban notes on tools & supplies
Paint shops and trade counters cluster around Umgeni Road, Springfield Park, Jacobs and Mobeni, and most stock primers, fillers, mould wash and membrane rolls. Contractors working on Umhlanga apartment blocks buy airless sprayer tips, masking film and long extension poles. Steel balustrades and gates near the sea in Durban North rust fast, so a rust inhibiting metal primer under an enamel topcoat is a common order. Clean sprayers well, since humidity slows drying.
What gets painted in Durban
Durban's housing runs from the plastered Edwardian and Art Deco homes of the Berea and Glenwood to apartment blocks along the Golden Mile and in Umhlanga, brick homes in Chatsworth and Phoenix, and big face brick and plaster family houses in Westville. The subtropical climate is hard on paint. Salt air chalks and blisters coatings near the beachfront, warm humid months feed mould on south facing walls and under eaves, and summer storms drive rain into hairline cracks and through tired flat roofs. Exterior repaints, mould treatment and flat roof waterproofing are the most common requests. Homeowners, body corporates of beachfront blocks, landlords between tenants and shops along Florida Road all ask for painters and paint here.
Typical painting supplies requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: tape, drop sheets and filler to prepare a bedroom before repainting
- Body corporates and estates: bulk filler, tape and drop sheets for maintenance teams across the estate
- Landlords and sellers: filler, sugar soap and mould wash to clean up a unit between tenants
