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 flooring installation requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: choosing waterproof vinyl that copes with sand, humidity and wet feet
- Suburban houses: laying laminate or vinyl planks in bedrooms, lounges and passages in family homes
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fitting acoustic underlay under new floors to meet sectional title noise rules
- Townhouses and security estates: installing floors with underlay that meets noise rules in townhouses and clusters
- Township homes and extensions: laying affordable vinyl or laminate over smooth concrete floors in new rooms
- Older and character homes: repairing or sanding original timber floors, and matching old boards where needed
