What to know locally in KwaZulu-Natal
Durban has paint shops and trade suppliers in Pinetown, Springfield Park, Prospecton and around Umhlanga Ridge, and Pietermaritzburg, Richards Bay and Newcastle have their own. Coastal painters stock up on mould wash, fungicidal primers and rust treatments. Waterproofing membranes and roof coatings move fast before the summer rains, so order early for a big job. Good roller covers made for rough plaster save time on textured coastal walls and spread the paint more evenly.
Painting in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal is the province where mould is the first thing a painter checks. Along the coast from Port Shepstone through Durban to Ballito and Richards Bay, humid air, warm nights and salt spray feed black mould on south walls, rust on burglar bars and gutters and peeling on cheap exterior paint. Plastered homes, sectional title complexes in Umhlanga and on the Berea, older timber and tin homes and new North Coast estates all need a thorough wash first. Inland, Pietermaritzburg has Victorian red brick buildings and misty winters, and the Midlands and northern areas around Newcastle see frost and storms. Homeowners, body corporates, holiday home owners and factories all ask for painters.
The requests we see from KwaZulu-Natal usually come from:
- Homeowners: fibre membrane and liquid coats on a leaking flat roof over a lounge
- Body corporates and estates: torch-on rolls for the flat roofs and parapets of a block of units
- Landlords and sellers: waterproofing tape on cracks and flashings before the rains in a rental
