Slate, stone and weather in East London
East London is a coastal city on the Buffalo River with suburbs like Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, and holiday homes along the Wild Coast side. Salt air and humidity suit only sealed, non-slip stone outdoors, so slate on decks, patios and pool surrounds should have good falls and regular pH-neutral cleaning. Mould grows quickly on shaded stone, and white efflorescence appears when moisture moves through screeds. Heavy rain can overwhelm gutters, so check drainage near stone walls. Older homes in Vincent and Berea often have tile roofs and slate stoeps. Tile shops, paving yards and merchants serve the city, with deliveries to Gonubie, Kidds Beach and the surrounding farms.
Typical fibre cement slates requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: slate-look roofs for coastal homes where weight, wind and salt air all matter
- Suburban homes: a lighter slate-look re-roof on a family home whose trusses cannot take natural slate
- Security and golf estates: slate-look roofs on estate homes where the design guidelines allow a manufactured slate
- Townhouses and complexes: uniform slate-look roofing across a complex, supplied from one batch for matching colour
- New builds and developments: specified from the plans stage so lighter trusses and standard battens can be used
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate-look roofing on offices and restaurants where a quick, even finish is wanted
