Kimberley notes on tools & supplies
Paint shops and hardware stores in central Kimberley and near Beaconsfield stock roof paint, metal primers, rust converters, enamels and wall paint in larger tins. Wire brushes, scrapers and long handled rollers are in steady demand for the older iron roofs. Contractors may hire pressure washers and scaffolding locally. Speciality coatings and spray equipment may be ordered from Bloemfontein, which can add a few days.
Kimberley walls, roofs and weather
Kimberley grew up around diamond mining, and many of its older houses still show it: Victorian and Edwardian homes with corrugated iron roofs, deep verandas, decorative cast iron and timber trim, especially in Belgravia and the older central suburbs. Those tin roofs and verandas need rust treatment and regular roof paint in the hot, dry climate, where summer temperatures run high and winter nights can bring frost. Newer face brick houses, Galeshewe and Roodepan homes, government buildings and shops make up the rest of the work. Homeowners restoring older houses, landlords, schools, churches and government departments ask for painters, roof painting and supplies most.

- Homeowners: fibre membrane and liquid coats on a leaking flat roof over a lounge
- Schools, churches and public buildings: flat roof membranes on school blocks, halls and clinic buildings
