Slate, stone and weather in East London
East London is a coastal city on the Buffalo River with suburbs like Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay, and holiday homes along the Wild Coast side. Salt air and humidity suit only sealed, non-slip stone outdoors, so slate on decks, patios and pool surrounds should have good falls and regular pH-neutral cleaning. Mould grows quickly on shaded stone, and white efflorescence appears when moisture moves through screeds. Heavy rain can overwhelm gutters, so check drainage near stone walls. Older homes in Vincent and Berea often have tile roofs and slate stoeps. Tile shops, paving yards and merchants serve the city, with deliveries to Gonubie, Kidds Beach and the surrounding farms.
Typical stone cladding requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: sealed stone cladding on outside walls and pillars that need to resist salt air
- Suburban homes: stone cladding on the front wall, garage face and gate pillars of a family home
- Security and golf estates: natural stone cladding on entrance walls and facades, with design committee approval first
- Townhouses and complexes: small cladded feature areas and braai walls, subject to body corporate approval
- New builds and developments: cladding planned with the builder so wall prep, damp-proofing and fixing are done correctly
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: stone cladding on shopfronts, reception walls, restaurant exteriors and hotel entrance features
