Tzaneen walls, roofs and weather
Tzaneen sits in a green, subtropical valley below the Magoebaskloof mountains, and humidity is the biggest enemy of paint here. Summers are hot, wet and sticky, so mould, mildew and algae grow quickly on walls, ceilings and roofs, especially in shaded gardens and on south facing walls. Timber decks and window frames rot if they are not sealed. Homes in town, farmhouses and packhouses on the citrus, avocado, mango and banana farms around Letsitele, and holiday homes in Haenertsburg all need regular attention. Farm managers, homeowners, lodge owners, landlords and schools ask for painters, waterproofing and mould resistant paint most, usually before the summer rains arrive.

- Homeowners: tape, drop sheets and filler to prepare a bedroom before repainting
