What to know locally in Gqeberha
Wind, sun and salt make coastal decks in Summerstrand and Humewood a regular maintenance job. Balau and treated pine both suit local conditions if they are oiled or sealed often, and fixings should resist rust. Composite boards are popular for low upkeep around pools in Walmer and Fernglen. Skirting and trims in older homes may need careful matching, and cleaning after wind and sand storms keeps finishes in good shape.
Gqeberha: climate, homes and floors
Gqeberha is known for wind, and the sea air carries salt and sand into homes along Algoa Bay. The climate is milder and less sticky than Durban, but timber still moves, and unsealed boards weather quickly outside. Older suburbs such as Central, Richmond Hill and Walmer have Victorian and Edwardian houses with pine and imported timber on suspended floors, while Summerstrand and Newton Park have mid-century homes, some with parquet. Newer estates use slabs. The motor industry in Kariega and Despatch supports a deep pool of tradespeople, so you can usually compare several fitters and sanders when you request quotes.
The requests we see from Gqeberha usually come from:

- Landlords and letting agents: hard-wearing painted skirting and simple trims that are quick to replace between tenants
