East London: climate, homes and floors
East London sits where the Buffalo River meets the Indian Ocean, and its climate is humid and warm, though a little drier than Durban. Sea air, summer rain and coastal damp all push timber to swell, so floors need good sealing and clean, dry slabs. Beacon Bay, Nahoon and Gonubie are mostly mid-century and newer brick homes, with a mix of slabs and suspended floors, while the older central areas, including Vincent, still hold some Victorian and Edwardian houses. Bhisho and Qonce, inland, are cooler and drier. Fitters often work along the whole coast, and work for guesthouses and holiday homes is steady in season.
