Gauteng notes on wall paint & coatings
On the Highveld, a good exterior acrylic with UV resistance matters more than the colour card. Deep reds and dark greys on north facing walls in Soweto, Randburg or Pretoria north can fade within a few summers, so many owners choose lighter, warmer tones. Roof paint on corrugated sheeting in Germiston and Alberton needs a metal primer underneath. Textured coatings are common on plastered townhouses in Midrand and Centurion because they hide fine cracks from movement in clay soils.
Painting in Gauteng
Gauteng has the largest and most varied building stock in the country, and nearly all of it sits high on the Highveld. Strong UV fades dark colours and chalks old acrylics on north and west walls, summer storms bring hail that dents and strips roof coatings, and lightning season tests every gutter and flat roof. Face brick homes from the 1960s and 1970s, plastered townhouses in sectional title complexes, older stone and tin roof houses in Pretoria, township homes and new estates on the edges of the metros all need different preparation. Body corporates, landlords, shop owners and factory managers ask for painters as often as homeowners do, and paint shops are close by in most suburbs.
Typical waterproof paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: sealing parapets, a leaking flat stoep roof or cracked outside walls before winter rain
- Body corporates and estates: planned resealing of parapets and flat roofs across every block in the complex
- Landlords and sellers: stopping roof and parapet leaks before they stain ceilings and tenants complain

Around Gauteng the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means sealing parapets, a leaking flat stoep roof or cracked outside walls before winter rain. Before you agree to anything: falls to drains; fix damp before coating. Keep in mind: 1970s face brick, IBR and tiled roofs in Benoni and Roodepoort, Pretoria flat roofs.
