Homes and weather in East London
East London is a coastal city on the Buffalo River with suburbs like Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, plus Mdantsane township inland. Housing ranges from older bungalows and flats to modern estates and townhouses. The humid, windy coast brings salt rust to gates, burglar bars and fittings, and mould to walls and ceilings. Heavy rain can overwhelm gutters and leak flat roofs, balconies and parapets. Termites and borer attack timber, and sandy soils shift under paving. Typical jobs include waterproofing, repainting, gutters, gate motors, tiling and plumbing repairs. Load-shedding makes battery backup for gates and garage doors worthwhile. Local merchants and hardware stores supply most materials.
Typical waterproofing products requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: flexible, UV-stable coatings that handle driving rain, wind and salt on exposed roofs
- Suburban houses: torch-on or liquid rubber for flat roof sections above garages, patios and extensions
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: balcony and shower waterproofing in small tins that suit limited spaces
- Townhouses and security estates: approved products for shared flat roofs, parapets and balconies maintained by the body corporate
- Township homes and extensions: roof sealants and bitumen coatings for sheets and flat slabs that leak in heavy rain
- Shops, offices and rentals: large-roll membranes and roof coatings for warehouse, shop and office flat roofs
