Homes and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port and industrial town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene, and nearby Empangeni and Esikhaleni. Homes are mostly face-brick or plastered houses, townhouses and flats built since the 1970s. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain cause rust on gates and bars, mould, stained ceilings and leaking flat roofs. Termites are very active, and sandy coastal soils shift under paving and boundary walls. Typical jobs include waterproofing, painting, gutters, burglar bars, gate motors and garage door repairs. Load-shedding makes battery backup for gates a priority. Local merchants supply most materials, with extra stock coming from Durban.
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
- Townhouses and security estates: servicing entrance and pedestrian gates and aligning with the rules of the body corporate
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: maintaining shared entrance and parking gates, usually arranged through the body corporate
- Township homes and extensions: repairing simple hinged and sliding gates, welding cracks and fitting new locks
- Shops, offices and rentals: maintaining heavy sliding and cantilever gates at yards, depots and business parks
