Building conditions in Umhlanga

Umhlanga, north of Durban, is known for upmarket coastal homes, apartment blocks and newer estates around Umhlanga Ridge and nearby Sibaya. Salt air and humidity are hard on buildings here, so contractors use corrosion-resistant fixings, coated or stainless steel and good-quality paint systems, and damp, mould and failed waterproofing are common repair jobs. Many sites are on sloping or sandy ground and need retaining walls, careful compaction and solid stormwater drainage, especially after heavy summer downpours. Plans go through the eThekwini municipality, and estates add their own design guidelines and approval. Renovations of older seafront homes are steady.

Typical roof tiles requests in the area come from:

Coastal and holiday homes: coastal homes use tiles with clips and corrosion-resistant fixings for wind and salt
Security and lifestyle estates: estate homes use the tile profile and colour range allowed by the design guidelines
Townhouse complexes: body corporates reroof whole blocks in one tile colour so units stay uniform
Homeowners: homeowners tile new houses and extensions or replace hail-damaged tiles on older roofs
Guesthouses and lodges: guesthouses and lodges choose clay tiles to match farmhouse or Tuscan-style buildings
Shops and offices: small offices and retail buildings with pitched roofs specify durable concrete tiles
