Slate, stone and weather in Newcastle
Newcastle is a northern KwaZulu-Natal industrial town in the Drakensberg foothills, with older suburbs like Lennoxton and Fernwood and newer complexes. Owners use charcoal and grey slate on entrance halls and lounges, with rustic slate on patios and braai areas. The weather swings from hot, stormy summers with hail to cold winters with hard frost, so outdoor stone must be dense, well sealed and laid on a solid bed with movement joints. Hail bruises roof tiles and fibre-cement slate-look sheets, and older ones may contain asbestos. Local tile shops and merchants stock common slate and paving, with larger orders delivered from Gauteng or Durban.
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
- Townhouses and complexes: careful, low-noise tile removal in a townhouse, keeping to complex working-hour rules
- Older and heritage homes: removing tiles in an older home while protecting original floors, skirtings and plaster
- 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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: tile removal in a farmhouse, lodge or guest house, with rubble carried to a skip
