Slate, stone and weather in Newcastle
Newcastle is a northern KwaZulu-Natal industrial town in the Drakensberg foothills, with older suburbs like Lennoxton and Fernwood and newer complexes. Owners use charcoal and grey slate on entrance halls and lounges, with rustic slate on patios and braai areas. The weather swings from hot, stormy summers with hail to cold winters with hard frost, so outdoor stone must be dense, well sealed and laid on a solid bed with movement joints. Hail bruises roof tiles and fibre-cement slate-look sheets, and older ones may contain asbestos. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate and paving, with larger orders delivered from Gauteng or Durban.
Typical roof restoration requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: cleaning, repairing and recolouring a faded concrete tile roof on a family home
- Townhouses and complexes: restoring a whole complex roof in one programme, arranged by the managing agent
- Older and heritage homes: careful cleaning and repair of older roofs, with minimal coating on slate and clay
- 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: restoring large roofs on farmhouses and lodges where replacement would cost far more
