What gets painted in Pietermaritzburg
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 waterproofing membranes requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Landlords and sellers: waterproofing tape on cracks and flashings before the rains in a rental
