Tools & supplies in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes
Durban has paint shops and trade suppliers in Pinetown, Springfield Park, Prospecton and around Umhlanga Ridge, and Pietermaritzburg, Richards Bay and Newcastle have their own. Coastal painters stock up on mould wash, fungicidal primers and rust treatments. Waterproofing membranes and roof coatings move fast before the summer rains, so order early for a big job. Good roller covers made for rough plaster save time on textured coastal walls and spread the paint more evenly.
Painting in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal is the province where mould is the first thing a painter checks. Along the coast from Port Shepstone through Durban to Ballito and Richards Bay, humid air, warm nights and salt spray feed black mould on south walls, rust on burglar bars and gutters and peeling on cheap exterior paint. Plastered homes, sectional title complexes in Umhlanga and on the Berea, older timber and tin homes and new North Coast estates all need a thorough wash first. Inland, Pietermaritzburg has Victorian red brick buildings and misty winters, and the Midlands and northern areas around Newcastle see frost and storms. Homeowners, body corporates, holiday home owners and factories all ask for painters.
Typical primers and undercoats requests in the area 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
- Landlords and sellers: primer on filled patches and stains so a quick repaint looks even
