Welkom notes on wall paint & coatings
Plain, light exterior colours are common on Welkom's rows of houses, and many landlords keep one colour across all their properties to make touch ups easier. Red dust stains light walls, so a low sheen exterior acrylic that wipes clean helps. Roof paint for concrete tiles comes in standard colours. On steel at mine and industrial sites, ask about rust primers and enamel.
Welkom walls, roofs and weather
Welkom is a planned gold mining town, built in the decades after gold was found in the area, and much of its housing was put up for mine staff: rows of similar face brick and plastered houses with tiled or corrugated roofs, mine hostels and flats. As some mines have closed, many of these homes have passed to new owners and landlords who want them repainted and repaired. Red dust from mine dumps settles on walls and roofs, and the Highveld brings summer hail and frosty winters. Landlords, homeowners buying former mine houses, businesses in the CBD, schools and remaining mine operations ask for painters, roof paint and supplies most.
Who asks for roof paint around Welkom, most often first:
- Homeowners: recoating a faded tiled or IBR roof before leaks and rust set in
- Landlords and sellers: a clean, sealed roof that helps a rental or sale property show well
- Factories, farms and mines: primer and roof coat for large IBR sheds, warehouses and farm buildings
