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 tools requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: rust-resistant tools and ladders for maintenance in salt air and humidity
- Suburban houses: a drill, ladder and hand tools kept in the garage for regular repairs and garden jobs
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: a small toolbox and cordless drill that suit storage limits and noise rules
- Townhouses and security estates: compact tools for small repairs, with larger gear hired for a day when needed
- Township homes and extensions: basic hand tools and shared power tools for building and repairing extensions
- Older and character homes: fine hand tools and gentle sanders for working on old timber and plaster
