Slate, stone and weather in Pinetown
Pinetown sits inland of Durban on the hills, with older suburbs like Cowies Hill and Moseley and leafy neighbours such as Hillcrest and Kloof. Steep stands lead to terraced gardens, retaining walls and split-level patios, which suit stone cladding and slate steps and paving. Warm, humid weather and heavy summer rain mean mould on shaded slate, so falls, drainage and a non-slip finish matter. Cracked paving often traces back to poor drainage behind walls. Townhouse complexes usually need body corporate approval for finishes. Mid-century homes may still carry original tile or slate-look roofs. The industrial areas nearby hold tile suppliers, paving yards and merchants, with quick delivery across the hills.
Typical slate roof repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: replacing a few cracked or slipped slates after a storm on a family home roof
- Townhouses and complexes: repairing shared slate roofs in a complex, usually arranged through the managing agent or body corporate
- Security and golf estates: repairs on estate roofs that must match the colour and layout agreed with the committee
- Older and heritage homes: careful repairs and re-fixing on older slate roofs, matching original slate and fixing methods
- New builds and developments: snagging slate work on a new roof before handover, such as loose or chipped slates
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: fast slate repairs on hotel and restaurant roofs to stop leaks over trading areas
