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 slate cleaning and restoration requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: dull patios, stoeps and kitchen floors that have gone patchy after years of use
- Townhouses and complexes: shared courtyards and private patios where moss and stains build up in shade
- Older and heritage homes: original slate floors and verandas with generations of polish, wax and dirt to remove
- New builds and developments: new slate floors with cement haze and grout residue left behind after tiling
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restaurant and hotel floors with grease, foot traffic and spills built up over time
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: dusty stoeps, lodge floors and braai areas with ground-in dirt and grease marks
