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 door installation requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: choosing doors and fittings that resist salt air, swelling and rust
- Suburban houses: hanging bedroom and bathroom doors, and fitting sliding doors onto the stoep
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fitting internal doors and locks in flats, with building rules on outside doors
- Townhouses and security estates: replacing front doors and security gates within estate style rules
- Township homes and extensions: fitting strong external doors, frames and security gates in new rooms
- Older and character homes: repairing or matching old panelled doors, fanlights and timber frames
