Slate, stone and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards, date palms and desert heat meet. Plastered single-storey homes with stoeps, courtyards and pools use stone for shaded patios and pool surrounds. Summer temperatures often pass 40 degrees, so dark slate in direct sun becomes too hot to walk on, and lighter or textured cleft finishes in shade work better. Hard water leaves scale on stone, and UV bleaches sealers, so plan to reseal. Sandy soils shift around paving, making a firm base important. Lodges and guest houses along the river use rustic slate. Slate and cladding are mostly delivered from Cape Town or Gauteng.
Typical roof restoration requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: cleaning, repairing and recolouring a faded concrete tile roof on a family home
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: restoring large roofs on farmhouses and lodges where replacement would cost far more
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restoring roofs on offices, hotels and restaurants to protect the building and its look
- Security and golf estates: restoring roofs to the colour approved by the estate, with a clean finish
- New builds and developments: sealing and finishing new tiled roofs, or putting right poor workmanship before handover
- Older and heritage homes: careful cleaning and repair of older roofs, with minimal coating on slate and clay
