What to know locally in Johannesburg
Paint shops in the inner city, Booysens and Wynberg serve contractors with bulk PVA, acrylics, primers and scaffolding hire, and many are open early for crews. Restorers in Melville and Parktown buy paint stripper, wood filler and enamel undercoat for sash windows. Airless sprayers are hired for large walls in converted blocks. Fine sanding of old enamel should be wet, never dry, on older houses.
Johannesburg walls, roofs and weather
Johannesburg has some of the oldest housing on the Highveld, and much of its painting work is about looking after it. Parktown, Melville, Yeoville, Kensington and Observatory hold houses from the early 1900s onward, with pressed steel ceilings, timber sash windows, corrugated roofs and many layers of old enamel. In the inner city and Braamfontein, old office blocks and flats are being converted into apartments, which keeps commercial painters busy. Highveld sun fades north and west walls, summer hail cracks tiles and dents roofs, and afternoon storms test every parapet and gutter. Homeowners, landlords, body corporates and building owners all ask for painters and waterproofing.
