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 paving requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: laying slip-resistant pavers around pools that cope with salt, sand and rain
- Suburban houses: paving driveways, front paths and braai areas, and cleaning and sealing older paving
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: repairing shared walkways and parking areas, usually arranged through the body corporate
- Townhouses and security estates: paving small courtyards and parking bays, with approval from the body corporate or HOA
- Township homes and extensions: paving yards and paths with simple pavers to cut dust, mud and puddles
- Older and character homes: laying clay bricks or stone that suit older homes and repairing old garden paths
