Slate, stone and weather in Kimberley
Kimberley is a historic diamond city with Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia, Kimberley North and around the Big Hole. Most old roofs are corrugated iron, but slate and stone appear on verandah floors, hearths, thick-walled facades and the occasional original slate roof. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings, so check before changing exteriors. The dry Karoo-edge climate brings very hot summers, frosty winter nights and sudden storms, which stress outdoor tiles and sealers. Shifting soils call for a solid bed and movement joints. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate, with larger orders and cladding delivered from Bloemfontein, Johannesburg or Cape Town.
Typical slate roofing requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: full or partial slate roof renewal on older homes, matched to original colour and pitch
- Suburban homes: a new slate roof on a family home, replacing worn concrete tiles or old sheeting
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: slate roofing on hotels, restaurants and boutique offices wanting a lasting premium finish
- Townhouses and complexes: slate roofing across a townhouse block, agreed with the body corporate and done in one phase
- New builds and developments: slate planned from the plans stage so trusses, battens and pitch suit the material
- Security and golf estates: steep black slate roofs on architect-designed estate homes, laid to strict design guidelines
