Homes and weather in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal has a humid, warm climate, with salt air along the coast and heavy summer rain. Around Durban, Umhlanga and Richards Bay, salt and humidity corrode gates, burglar bars and fittings, and damp causes peeling paint, mould and rotting timber. Inland near Pietermaritzburg and Newcastle, storms and hail damage roofs, while termites attack timber across the province. Housing includes coastal flats, suburban brick homes, townhouse complexes, older heritage houses and many township and rural homes. Hardware stores, paint shops and builders' merchants serve all the main towns, and delivery is widely available.
Typical carpentry requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: building cupboards, repairing door frames and fitting skirting in family homes
- Coastal homes: replacing timber damaged by damp with treated wood and rust-resistant fixings
- Townhouses and security estates: fitting shelves and built-in units without disturbing neighbours in shared walls
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: making space-saving cupboards and shelves that suit small rooms and alcoves
- Township homes and extensions: repairing door frames and building simple shelving in extensions and backyard rooms
- Older and character homes: matching old skirtings, sash windows and doors with careful timber repairs
