Pinetown walls, roofs and weather
Pinetown sits inland of Durban on the way up to the Upper Highway, and it catches more rain and mist than the beachfront. Many homes in Pinetown, Cowies Hill, Kloof and Queensburgh are older brick and plaster houses with tiled or corrugated roofs, big eaves and timber windows, while New Germany and Westmead hold factories and warehouses with wide steel roofs. Wet summers keep shaded walls damp, so mould, algae and peeling paint on south sides are common, and old flat roofs over garages and stoeps tend to leak. Requests are often for exterior repaints with proper prep, gutters and fascias, timber trims and factory roofs, from homeowners, landlords and plant managers in the industrial parks.
The requests we see from Pinetown usually come from:
- 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
- Factories, farms and mines: rust-inhibiting primers on steel structures and galvanised roof sheeting
