Homes and weather in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is KwaZulu-Natal's capital, known for red-brick Victorian buildings, tree-lined avenues and cooler, wetter weather than Durban. Heritage homes in Scottsville, Clarendon and Hilton have corrugated iron roofs, sash windows and timber floors that need skilled repair. Summer thunderstorms and mist cause damp, rotting timber and leaking roofs and gutters, and termites and borer are active. Newer complexes and Edendale township housing add demand for waterproofing, tiling, painting and security work. Owners of older buildings should check heritage rules before altering exteriors. Typical jobs include roof repairs, ceilings, damp treatment, plumbing and electrical faults. The city has established hardware stores and merchants serving trade and households.
Typical paving requests in the area come from:
- Older and character homes: laying clay bricks or stone that suit older homes and repairing old garden paths
- Suburban houses: paving driveways, front paths and braai areas, and cleaning and sealing older paving
- Townhouses and security estates: paving small courtyards and parking bays, with approval from the body corporate or HOA
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: repairing shared walkways and parking areas, usually arranged through the body corporate
- Township homes and extensions: paving yards and paths with simple pavers to cut dust, mud and puddles
- Shops, offices and rentals: paving parking areas, loading zones and entrances to shops and offices
