Waterproof Paint in Welkom
Parapets, flat roofs and cracked walls in Welkom are often sealed with liquid waterproofing. Suppliers around Welkom stock liquid rubber, fibre-reinforced coats and membrane rolls. Say what you are sealing, the area, whether the old coating is still sound and when the work should be done.
The main waterproof paint page explains the types, the checks and the costs in more detail.
Welkom notes on wall paint & coatings
Plain, light exterior colours are common on Welkom's rows of houses, and many landlords keep one colour across all their properties to make touch ups easier. Red dust stains light walls, so a low sheen exterior acrylic that wipes clean helps. Roof paint for concrete tiles comes in standard colours. On steel at mine and industrial sites, ask about rust primers and enamel.
Painting in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold mining town, built in the decades after gold was found in the area, and much of its housing was put up for mine staff: rows of similar face brick and plastered houses with tiled or corrugated roofs, mine hostels and flats. As some mines have closed, many of these homes have passed to new owners and landlords who want them repainted and repaired. Red dust from mine dumps settles on walls and roofs, and the Highveld brings summer hail and frosty winters. Landlords, homeowners buying former mine houses, businesses in the CBD, schools and remaining mine operations ask for painters, roof paint and supplies 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
- Landlords and sellers: stopping roof and parapet leaks before they stain ceilings and tenants complain
- Factories, farms and mines: coating box gutters, concrete roofs and tank stands on factories and farms
