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 drywall partitioning requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: using moisture-resistant boards in humid coastal homes and holiday rentals
- Suburban houses: splitting a large room, boxing in pipes or building a home office partition
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: dividing open-plan flats into extra rooms without heavy building work
- Townhouses and security estates: adding light partitions inside units, with body corporate approval where needed
- Township homes and extensions: creating extra rooms in a larger structure with light, quick-to-build partitions
- Older and character homes: adding light partitions that can be removed later without harming old walls
