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 tiling requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: fixing slip-resistant outdoor tiles that stand up to salt, sand and wet feet
- Suburban houses: retiling bathrooms and kitchens, and laying stoep or braai-area tiles outside
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: tiling small bathrooms and balconies with proper waterproofing under the tiles
- Townhouses and security estates: replacing worn floor tiles in townhouses while keeping noise and mess within estate rules
- Township homes and extensions: laying durable floor tiles over concrete in new rooms and extensions
- Older and character homes: replacing broken tiles and matching old patterns in verandas, passages and bathrooms
