Slate, stone and weather in Durban
Durban is a warm, humid coastal city where slate is used on verandahs, pool decks, bathrooms and feature walls from Umhlanga and Berea to Westville. Salt air, heavy summer rain and constant humidity grow mould and algae on shaded stone, so choose a non-slip cleft finish, give outdoor areas proper falls and clean with pH-neutral products. Sealing protects against salt and stains, and moisture rising through screeds can cause white efflorescence. Flat roofs and balconies need sound waterproofing under tiles. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are spread across the metro, and many suppliers deliver to the South Coast, North Coast and inland hills.

Typical roof restoration requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: removing salt and growth and sealing tiles on roofs exposed to sea air and humidity
- Suburban homes: cleaning, repairing and recolouring a faded concrete tile roof on a family home
- Security and golf estates: restoring roofs to the colour approved by the estate, with a clean finish
- Townhouses and complexes: restoring a whole complex roof in one programme, arranged by the managing agent
- New builds and developments: sealing and finishing new tiled roofs, or putting right poor workmanship before handover
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restoring roofs on offices, hotels and restaurants to protect the building and its look
