Slate, stone and weather in Worcester
Worcester is a Breede River Valley town surrounded by vineyards, orchards and mountains, with older Cape Dutch and Victorian homes and newer complexes. Slate and stone are used on stoeps, courtyards, entrance halls and farm-stall and cellar floors. Summers are very hot and dry, so sealers fade on open terraces and dark slate gets hot in direct sun, while winter brings cold rain, frost and occasional snow on nearby peaks. Frost can crack thin or poorly bedded outdoor tiles, so use dense stone, flexible adhesive and a full bed. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings. Tile shops and merchants serve the town, with larger slate orders delivered from Paarl or Cape Town.
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
- Older and heritage homes: careful repairs and re-fixing on older slate roofs, matching original slate and fixing methods
- 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
- New builds and developments: snagging slate work on a new roof before handover, such as loose or chipped slates
- Security and golf estates: repairs on estate roofs that must match the colour and layout agreed with the committee
