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 gate repairs requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: treating salt rust, replacing seized hinges and wheels, and repainting gates in sea air
- Suburban houses: repairing sliding and swing driveway gates, motors and remotes after wear or power cuts
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: maintaining shared entrance and parking gates, usually arranged through the body corporate
- Townhouses and security estates: servicing entrance and pedestrian gates and aligning with the rules of the body corporate
- Township homes and extensions: repairing simple hinged and sliding gates, welding cracks and fitting new locks
- Older and character homes: restoring ornate iron gates and fitting motors without losing the original design
