Slate, stone and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene and coastal homes at Mtunzini. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain suit slate only when it is well chosen and cared for: sealed, non-slip cleft stone on patios and pool surrounds, with falls so water runs off. Mould and algae grow quickly in shade, and sandy soils shift under paving, so a firm base matters. Salt can attack weak adhesive beds, so use flexible, polymer-modified adhesive. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, while slate, cladding and special orders usually come from Durban and are delivered north.

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
