Pietermaritzburg notes on wall paint & coatings
Many Victorian homes around Alexandra Park and Scottsville keep their red brick unpainted, and owners ask for a clear sealer rather than colour. Tin roofs are often recoated in traditional reds, greens and greys, with verandah posts and broekie lace in white or cream enamel. Misty winters in the Msunduzi valley mean slow drying, so paint shops often advise starting late in the morning once the dew has lifted.
Pietermaritzburg walls, roofs and weather
Pietermaritzburg is known for its Victorian and Edwardian buildings, with red face brick homes, broekie lace verandahs and corrugated iron roofs around the city centre, Scottsville and Clarendon. Newer brick houses fill Hayfields, Northdale and Edendale, and Hilton has larger family homes and estates. The city sits in a valley that traps cold, misty air on winter mornings, while summer brings hot days, thunderstorms and sometimes hail. Old tin roofs need rust treatment and recoating, sash windows and timber trims need careful repainting, and face brick is usually cleaned and sealed rather than painted. Owners of heritage homes, schools and churches, and landlords renting near the university ask for painters most.
Typical waterproof paint requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: sealing parapets, a leaking flat stoep roof or cracked outside walls before winter rain
- Schools, churches and public buildings: resealing flat roofs and parapets on schools, halls, churches and clinics
- Landlords and sellers: stopping roof and parapet leaks before they stain ceilings and tenants complain
