Painting in Middelburg
Middelburg is a steel and farming town, and its painting work follows both. The steelworks and its suppliers keep industrial painters busy with structural steel, storage tanks and factory floors, while the older suburbs like Eastdene hold 1960s and 1970s face brick homes with steel window frames that need scraping and enamel. Aerorand and Kanonkop add newer plastered homes and complexes, and Mhluzi has a mix of family houses and RDP homes being extended. Frost on winter mornings and hard summer hail are tough on roofs and on paint that went on too thin. Farmers around Hendrina and Belfast also ask for sheds, silos and farmhouse roofs to be painted.
Who asks for primers and undercoats around Middelburg, most often first:
- Homeowners: bonding liquid on a chalky old outside wall before a fresh top coat
- Factories, farms and mines: rust-inhibiting primers on steel structures and galvanised roof sheeting
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a primer to cover strong old corporate colours before a new scheme
