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 handyman services requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: rust, salt and damp: treating gates and bars, resealing windows, repainting and fixing storm damage
- Suburban houses: a running list of odd jobs: leaking taps, sticking doors, cracked plaster, gutters, gates and a room to repaint
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: small inside jobs in flats where access, parking and building rules matter: shelves, lights, taps, tiles and paint
- Townhouses and security estates: unit repairs inside, plus common-property work for the body corporate or HOA that must match the estate rules
- Township homes and extensions: extensions, backyard rooms, roof leaks, burglar bars, ceilings and plastering on brick homes
- Older and character homes: careful repairs to old roofs, timber floors, sash windows and lime plaster on older homes
