Slate, stone and weather in Ladysmith
Ladysmith is a historic Boer War town on the Klip River, with older sandstone and brick buildings in the centre and suburbs such as Model Park. Heritage houses have thick walls, verandahs and timber floors, where slate suits stoeps, hearths and entrance halls, and local sandstone suits repair work. Owners should check heritage rules before altering older exteriors. Summers are hot with strong storms and hail, and winters bring frost, so outdoor tiles need a flexible adhesive, a solid bed and sealing. Lodges and farms towards the Drakensberg foothills use rustic slate and stone cladding. Local merchants stock basic tiles, with larger slate orders delivered from Newcastle, Pietermaritzburg or Gauteng.
Typical tile removal requests in the area come from:
- Older and heritage homes: removing tiles in an older home while protecting original floors, skirtings and plaster
- Suburban homes: lifting old kitchen, passage or patio tiles before a new slate floor is laid in a family home
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: tile removal in a farmhouse, lodge or guest house, with rubble carried to a skip
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: tile removal in shops, restaurants and offices, often done after hours to limit disruption
- 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
