Wall paint & coatings in Cape Town: local notes
Colour is part of the city, from the bright houses of the Bo-Kaap to softer greys and whites in the Southern Suburbs. Walls in Newlands, Claremont and Constantia stay damp under the mountain, so ask for a mould wash and an exterior paint with good mould resistance. On the Atlantic seaboard, salt air chalks paint and rusts steel quickly, so elastomeric wall coatings and metal primers matter more there.
What gets painted in Cape Town
Cape Town has a winter rainfall climate, and that sets the painting calendar: most exterior work is planned for the drier months between spring and autumn, when the south-easter blows instead. The building stock is very mixed. There are Victorian semis with corrugated roofs and timber sash windows in Woodstock and Observatory, the bright painted cottages of the Bo-Kaap, damp older homes under the mountain in the Southern Suburbs, and apartment blocks on the Atlantic seaboard where salt air eats into steel and paint. Body corporates, heritage homeowners, landlords between tenants and shop owners ask for painters, waterproofing and roof painting most, usually with a firm eye on winter leaks.
Typical textured paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: hiding patched or uneven plaster on the house and boundary walls
- Body corporates and estates: one uniform textured finish across blocks, boundary walls and entrance features
- Landlords and sellers: a durable finish that hides knocks and old repairs between tenants
Local tips for Cape Town
Popular here: waterproofing flat roofs and parapets before winter, and exterior repaints in summer. Ask each painter or supplier about this: ask for the flat roof and parapet waterproofing to be done before the first winter front. Where they work from: painters and suppliers in Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland and Salt River.
Around Cape Town the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means hiding patched or uneven plaster on the house and boundary walls. Before you agree to anything: prime first; one full wall at a time. Keep in mind: victorian semis in Woodstock and Observatory, salty steel in Sea Point, damp in Newlands.
