Slate, stone and weather in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a port town on the Zululand coast, with suburbs like Meerensee, Arboretum and Aquadene and coastal homes at Mtunzini. Hot humid weather, salt air and heavy summer rain suit slate only when it is well chosen and cared for: sealed, non-slip cleft stone on patios and pool surrounds, with falls so water runs off. Mould and algae grow quickly in shade, and sandy soils shift under paving, so a firm base matters. Salt can attack weak adhesive beds, so use flexible, polymer-modified adhesive. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, while slate, cladding and special orders usually come from Durban and are delivered north.
Typical tile removal requests in the area come from:
- Coastal and holiday homes: lifting tiles damaged by damp and salt air in a coastal home before re-tiling
- 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
- 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
