Building conditions in KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal's coastal belt is hot and humid, so mould, damp walls and corrosion of roof sheeting, steel and fixings are everyday concerns for builders and homeowners near the sea. Heavy summer downpours and the floods of recent years have made stormwater, drainage and retaining walls a priority, especially on the steep slopes common around Durban and the north and south coasts. Inland, the Midlands and northern towns get cold winters, frost and summer hail. Housing ranges from coastal estates and apartment blocks to older suburban homes and rural homesteads, with steady renovation work and new estates north of Durban adding to demand.
