Randburg notes on wall paint & coatings
Many Randburg owners leave face brick unpainted and refresh only trims, gutters and steel windows, often in white, charcoal or dark green enamel. Plastered complexes in Blairgowrie and Bordeaux usually get one body corporate colour in a low-sheen exterior acrylic. Older flat roofs need a membrane or waterproof paint over sound substrate. Painting face brick is hard to reverse, so think twice.
What gets painted in Randburg
Randburg grew quickly in the 1960s and 1970s, and much of its housing comes from that era: face brick homes with steel windows and tiled or asbestos cement roofs, and plenty of older sectional title complexes in Ferndale, Bromhof and Blairgowrie. Many of these buildings need their first major exterior work in years, from roof painting and gutter replacement to waterproofing old flat-roofed blocks. Linden and Northcliff have a mix of older family homes on hilly stands. Highveld hail and summer storms are hard on old roofs, and strong sun fades paint on exposed walls. Homeowners, landlords, body corporates and small businesses ask for painters.
The requests we see from Randburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: a fresh coat for the lounge, bedrooms and passages, often in washable low sheen
- Body corporates and estates: matching colours across units and common areas, bought in bulk 20 L tins
- Landlords and sellers: a durable neutral white or grey that touches up easily between tenants

The requests that come up most: exterior repaints and roof work on 1970s homes and older sectional title complexes.
