Slate, stone and weather in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a historic Boer War town on the Klip River, with older sandstone and brick buildings in the centre and suburbs such as Model Park. Heritage houses have thick walls, verandahs and timber floors, where slate suits stoeps, hearths and entrance halls, and local sandstone suits repair work. Owners should check heritage rules before altering older exteriors. Summers are hot with strong storms and hail, and winters bring frost, so outdoor tiles need a flexible adhesive, a solid bed and sealing. Lodges and farms towards the Drakensberg foothills use rustic slate and stone cladding. Local merchants stock basic tiles, with larger slate orders delivered from Newcastle, Pietermaritzburg or Gauteng.
Typical slate cleaning and restoration requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: original slate floors and verandas with generations of polish, wax and dirt to remove
- Suburban homes: dull patios, stoeps and kitchen floors that have gone patchy after years of use
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: dusty stoeps, lodge floors and braai areas with ground-in dirt and grease marks
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restaurant and hotel floors with grease, foot traffic and spills built up over time
- New builds and developments: new slate floors with cement haze and grout residue left behind after tiling
- Security and golf estates: large pool decks and entrance floors that need a uniform, even finish again
