Homes and weather in Durban
Durban is a warm, humid coastal city where houses face salt air, heavy summer rain and fast-growing mould. Homes range from Berea and Morningside flats and older bungalows to Umhlanga and Westville townhouses, with large township and informal areas inland. Salt rusts gates, burglar bars, window frames and roof screws, while damp and mould stain ceilings and walls. Flat roofs, balconies and parapets need regular waterproofing. Termites and borer attack timber, and storms can flood stoeps and blocked gutters. Typical jobs include repainting, waterproofing, gutters, security gates, tiling and garage door repairs. Hardware stores and merchants are spread across the metro and well stocked.
Typical ceiling repairs requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: replacing damp-affected boards and choosing moisture-resistant ceiling types
- Suburban houses: repairing stained boards after roof leaks and fitting new gypsum ceilings in extensions
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: patching ceiling damage from upstairs plumbing leaks and repainting afterwards
- Townhouses and security estates: fixing leaks from the unit above or a shared roof, with the body corporate's consent
- Township homes and extensions: fitting simple ceiling boards and insulation under corrugated roofs for comfort
- Older and character homes: mending old plaster, pressed-metal and timber-board ceilings with period-correct cornices
