Exposure is the whole story here
Homes on the Plattekloof and Panorama slope take wind and driven rain from the north west in winter and full sun off the north west in summer. On a large double storey with big plastered elevations, that means the north and west walls age at a completely different rate to the rest of the house.
It also means driven rain finds every unsealed window frame, every open crack above a lintel and every parapet coping that was detailed in a hurry.
Big houses need a specification, not a quote
These are large, expensive homes, often with high double volume elevations, glass, aluminium, cladding and specialist finishes. Access alone changes the job, and so does the fact that a bad finish on an elevation that big is impossible to hide.
We measure it properly, write down the preparation, primer, product and number of coats per elevation, and give you one fixed price for the whole job. Waterproofing is quoted as its own line, using Rubber Sealant Liquid Rubber.
