Painting in Bellville
Bellville sits at the heart of the northern suburbs, where face brick houses with tiled roofs, sectional title complexes and office parks make up most of the painting work. Face brick needs little paint on the walls, but owners here often ask for fascias, gutters, steel windows, garage doors and tiled roofs to be redone, or for older face brick to be sealed or painted over in a modern colour. Around Tygervalley, the offices, medical rooms and shopping centres need interior repaints with little disruption, often after hours. Winter rain soaks south walls, and summer heat bakes north facing paintwork. Complex trustees, office managers, landlords near the university and families in Durbanville and Brackenfell ask for quotes most.
The requests we see from Bellville usually come from:
- Homeowners: bonding liquid on a chalky old outside wall before a fresh top coat
- Body corporates and estates: bulk plaster primer and metal primer for walls and gates in a complex repaint
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a primer to cover strong old corporate colours before a new scheme
