Slate, stone and weather in Kariega
Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, is a motor-industry town at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, with older central suburbs, newer estates and farms along the Sundays River and Addo. Many homes are single-storey plastered or face-brick houses with tiled roofs, and owners add slate to entrance halls, stoeps and braai areas. Heritage buildings in the central area suit careful stone and slate repairs. The climate is dry and warm with sudden cold fronts and strong winds, so dust and sun wear sealers quickly. Lodges and farm stays near Addo favour rustic stone. Local merchants stock common tiles, with larger slate orders delivered from Gqeberha.
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
- Older and heritage homes: removing tiles in an older home while protecting original floors, skirtings and plaster
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: tile removal in a farmhouse, lodge or guest house, with rubble carried to a skip
- New builds and developments: taking out wrongly laid or damaged tiles in a new house so they can be redone
- Security and golf estates: removing dated tiles in an estate house before modern stone finishes go in
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: tile removal in shops, restaurants and offices, often done after hours to limit disruption
