What gets painted in Germiston
Germiston is one of the oldest East Rand towns, built on gold mining and the railway, and it still has a big industrial base in Wadeville, Elandsfontein and Isando. Older Victorian and early 20th century houses with tin roofs and verandahs stand in Primrose, Lambton and around the old town centre, while Bedfordview has larger plastered homes and complexes. The industrial areas hold old steel sheds, warehouses and workshops with wide IBR roofs. Highveld sun, hail and frost all age paint, and old sheds often show rust and failed roof coats. Factory owners, landlords, homeowners, schools and churches ask for painters, roof coatings and epoxy floors here.
The requests we see from Germiston usually come from:
- Factories, farms and mines: rust-inhibiting primers on steel structures and galvanised roof sheeting
- Homeowners: bonding liquid on a chalky old outside wall before a fresh top coat
- Landlords and sellers: primer on filled patches and stains so a quick repaint looks even

Ask each painter or supplier about this: ask whether the shed roof needs rust treatment and seam sealing before the coat.

Primers and Undercoats usually suits new plaster, chalky walls, steel and wood, done like this: brush or roller, one coat before top coats. For factories, farms and mines, the biggest group here, that usually means rust-inhibiting primers on steel structures and galvanised roof sheeting. On the weather side: highveld UV, summer hail and frost; dry winter days suit exterior and roof work.
