Alberton walls, roofs and weather

Alberton is a largely residential town south of Germiston, known for its many sectional title complexes and security estates, especially in Brackenhurst, Brackendowns, Randhart and Meyersdal. New Redruth holds the older town centre, with shops, offices and some older homes, and Alrode is a busy industrial area with factories and warehouses. Homes are mostly face brick and plaster with tiled roofs, and Meyersdal has larger homes on the ridge. Highveld UV, summer hail and dry winters age paint, and many complexes built in past decades now need full repaints. Body corporates, managing agents, homeowners, landlords between tenants and factory owners in Alrode ask for painters most.
