Stellenbosch notes on tools & supplies

Ask the shop to keep your colour formula on file.
Stellenbosch walls, roofs and weather
Stellenbosch is a university town with one of the best known heritage centres in the country, and painting here is shaped by both. The oak lined streets of the old town, such as Dorp Street, have white gabled Cape Dutch and Georgian houses that are repainted with care, often in white with dark green or black shutters. Around them are many student houses and flats that need quick repaints between leases, plus wine estates, Technopark offices and new estates towards Jamestown. Winter rain and shade under the oaks bring damp and mould, while summer sun is strong. Landlords, heritage owners, estate managers and the university sector ask for painters most.
Typical primers and undercoats requests in the area come from:
- Landlords and sellers: primer on filled patches and stains so a quick repaint looks even
- Homeowners: bonding liquid on a chalky old outside wall before a fresh top coat
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a primer to cover strong old corporate colours before a new scheme
