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 slate roof repairs requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: replacing corroded fixings and wind-lifted slates on roofs exposed to salt air
- Suburban homes: replacing a few cracked or slipped slates after a storm on a family home roof
- Security and golf estates: repairs on estate roofs that must match the colour and layout agreed with the committee
- Townhouses and complexes: repairing shared slate roofs in a complex, usually arranged through the managing agent or body corporate
- 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
