Frequently Asked Questions
1.How often should I repaint my home in Cape Town's climate?
In Cape Town, with its mix of coastal air, rain, and sun, it’s recommended to repaint the exterior of your home every 5 to 7 years. Coastal moisture and salt can cause paint to fade, crack, or peel faster than in inland areas. Regular repainting helps protect your walls from water damage, damp, and UV damage. Interior walls may last longer, but high-traffic areas or damp-prone rooms like bathrooms may need touch-ups more frequently.
2.What’s the difference between damp proofing and waterproofing?
Damp proofing is a treatment applied to stop moisture from rising through walls from the ground (rising damp), while waterproofing protects surfaces like roofs, balconies, and exterior walls from rain and water penetration. Damp proofing is commonly used indoors or on ground-level walls, and waterproofing is used in areas exposed to heavy rainfall or standing water. Both are important in Cape Town due to our rainy winters and coastal humidity. Combining both ensures your home stays dry, mould-free, and structurally sound.
3.How do I know if I have a damp problem in my house?
Common signs of damp include bubbling or peeling paint, mould spots on walls or ceilings, musty smells, and wet patches that don’t dry. In some cases, you may also notice white powdery stains on walls, which is salt being drawn out by rising moisture. If left untreated, damp can cause structural damage and health issues due to mould growth. A professional damp inspection can confirm the cause and recommend the right treatment.
4.Can painting over damp or mould fix the problem?
No, painting over damp or mould is only a temporary cover-up and will not fix the underlying problem. The moisture will eventually push through the new paint, causing bubbling, flaking, or mould regrowth. The source of the damp must be identified and treated first—whether it’s a leaking roof, rising damp, or poor ventilation. Once the area is properly treated and dry, then the surface can be primed and repainted for a long-lasting finish.
5.How long does waterproofing last, and does it need maintenance?
A professionally applied waterproofing system can last 5 to 10 years, depending on the type of product used and exposure to elements. Flat roofs, balconies, and parapet walls in Cape Town need regular checks because of heavy rains and seasonal wind. Small cracks or lifting can develop over time and should be repaired before they lead to major leaks. We recommend an annual inspection to ensure everything stays sealed and protected.
6. Do you offer guarantees on your painting and waterproofing work?
Yes, reputable contractors like Lawrence Painting offer workmanship guarantees—typically between 3 and 7 years, depending on the type of service. We stand by the quality of our work and use only proven products that are suitable for the Cape Town climate. Our guarantees give homeowners peace of mind, knowing that if something goes wrong due to poor application, we’ll return to fix it. We’re committed to durability, transparency, and long-term client satisfaction.
