Local stone suppliers and installers know what holds up nearby. Send your wall sizes and they will quote.

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 stone cladding requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: stone cladding chosen to match the colour and texture of existing walls and chimneys
- Suburban homes: stone cladding on the front wall, garage face and gate pillars of a family home
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: stone cladding on shopfronts, reception walls, restaurant exteriors and hotel entrance features
- 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
- Security and golf estates: natural stone cladding on entrance walls and facades, with design committee approval first
Why get a quote in Kimberley first?
Prices for stone cladding in Kimberley depend on the exact stone, finish, thickness, quantities, current stock and delivery. A quote based on your details is the quickest way to know what you will pay, and it shows what is included before anything starts.
What to include in your request
- State the wall area in m² and list corners in metres.
- Say which walls: outside, boundary, pillars, braai or interior.
- Name the stone type and colour, or ask for samples.
- Describe the wall surface: brick, block, plaster, painted or smooth concrete.
- Mention estate or body corporate rules and whether you need installation.
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
