Slate, stone and weather in Johannesburg
Johannesburg has one of the deepest slate and stone markets in the country. Older northern suburbs and Parktown-era homes include heritage slate roofs, while newer estates use slate for entrance halls, patios, pool surrounds and braai walls. Highveld hail can crack roof slates, summer storms drive water across stoeps, and winter frost punishes loose paving. Dry winters also dry out sealers, so re-sealing is common. Tile shops, stone and paving yards and builders' merchants are spread from Sandton to the West Rand, and delivery across the metro is standard.

Typical tile removal requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: lifting old kitchen, passage or patio tiles before a new slate floor is laid in a family home
- Security and golf estates: removing dated tiles in an estate house before modern stone finishes go in
- Older and heritage homes: removing tiles in an older home while protecting original floors, skirtings and plaster
- Townhouses and complexes: careful, low-noise tile removal in a townhouse, keeping to complex working-hour rules
- New builds and developments: taking out wrongly laid or damaged tiles in a new house so they can be redone
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: tile removal in shops, restaurants and offices, often done after hours to limit disruption
Why get a quote in Johannesburg first?

What to include in your request
- State the area in m² and whether it is floor or wall.
- Name the tile type: ceramic, porcelain, slate or stone.
