Decks, finishes & trims in East London: local notes
Decks on the East London coast, from Nahoon to Gonubie, are exposed to salt and strong sun. Treated pine and balau are both used, and composite boards suit pool areas that need little upkeep. Plan to oil or reseal timber decks every year or two, depending on exposure. Stainless or coated fixings last longer near the sea, and skirting in damp coastal homes should be sealed on every face.
What lies underfoot in East London
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.
Typical wooden floor polishing requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a buff and fresh coat that brings dull pine or parquet back without a full sand
- Guesthouses, lodges and restaurants: regular polishing of lodge lounges and restaurant floors that see heavy foot traffic
- Landlords and letting agents: a quick buff and recoat between tenants that hides scuffs and brightens a floor
