Homes and weather in Newcastle
Newcastle is a northern KwaZulu-Natal industrial town in the shadow of the Drakensberg foothills, with suburbs like Lennoxton, Fernwood and Madadeni and Osizweni townships. Homes include older brick houses, newer complexes and large township areas. Weather swings from hot, stormy summers with hail and lightning to cold winters with frost that can freeze pipes and crack taps. Clay soils move and crack walls, and many roofs on older houses leak at flashings and gutters. Typical jobs include roof repairs, waterproofing, painting, plumbing, ceilings and security gates. Landlords and agents need regular turnaround repairs. Local hardware stores and merchants supply bricks, roofing, paint and plumbing parts.
Typical painting requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: repainting plastered walls, fascias and garage doors that fade in the sun
- Township homes and extensions: refreshing plastered walls and corrugated roofs with durable weatherproof paint
- Townhouses and security estates: matching approved estate colours on exterior walls, gates and shared-boundary fascias
- Shops, offices and rentals: repainting shop interiors and office walls outside trading hours
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: repainting inside walls and ceilings between tenants or after a leak above
- Older and character homes: careful preparation of old plaster, timber sashes and pressed-steel ceilings before painting
