East London walls, roofs and weather
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.
The requests we see from East London usually come from:
- Homeowners: tape, drop sheets and filler to prepare a bedroom before repainting
- Landlords and sellers: filler, sugar soap and mould wash to clean up a unit between tenants
- Body corporates and estates: bulk filler, tape and drop sheets for maintenance teams across the estate
