KwaZulu-Natal notes on painting services
Durban painters spend much of their time on complexes in Umhlanga, Musgrave and Westville, where trustees phase exterior repaints and flat roof waterproofing. Holiday homes in Ballito, Salt Rock and on the South Coast near Margate are often painted in winter, when the weather is drier. In Pietermaritzburg, contractors repaint older brick and timber homes in Scottsville and Clarendon. Factories in Pinetown, Jacobs and Richards Bay hire commercial painting contractors for steel, floors and large roofs.
What gets painted 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.
Who asks for roof painting around KwaZulu-Natal, most often first:
- Homeowners: a faded or mossy tile roof cleaned, repaired and recoated in a fresh colour
- Body corporates and estates: all the roofs in a complex recoated in one colour on one contract
- Landlords and sellers: a rental house roof repaired and recoated before leaks damage ceilings
