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 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: repairs on farmhouse and lodge roofs after hail or branch damage, often at remote sites
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: fast slate repairs on hotel and restaurant roofs to stop leaks over trading areas
- Security and golf estates: repairs on estate roofs that must match the colour and layout agreed with the committee
- New builds and developments: snagging slate work on a new roof before handover, such as loose or chipped slates
- Older and heritage homes: careful repairs and re-fixing on older slate roofs, matching original slate and fixing methods
