Exterior only
Roofs, facades, and boundary walls — zero interior access, zero resident key handovers.
Body corporate exterior painting
Trustees & managing agents
You are not buying paint — you are buying a defensible AGM decision
We supply phased exterior scopes, SANS 10400 moisture diagnostics, and measured coating QA so reserve fund spend is justified without resident friction or interior access.
Exterior-only specialists
Built for body corporates, HOAs, and West Rand estates — not industrial warehouses
We deliberately exclude interior work, high-rise corporate blocks, and massive industrial sites. That focus is your advantage: zero interior disruption and estate-scale programmes we can actually phase.
Agile small teams
One micro-zone at a time. We finish a block before advancing — not fifty workers across the estate.
Phased chunking
36–48 month programmes aligned to reserve fund accruals — not a single capital spike.
Material science precision
Doser hygrometer diagnostics below 8% moisture, 100 µm Micatex DFT, and polymer-modified tanking before topcoat.
Independent QA & material log
Empirical metrics — not “quality workmanship” platitudes
Every exterior phase is documented against SANS moisture thresholds, tanking protocols, and measured dry film thickness. Your managing agent gets numbers they can defend at the AGM.
Substrate preparation
< 8% moisture · SANS 10400Typical competitor claim
We wash the walls before painting.
Krugersdorp Painters QA metric
Doser hygrometer readings confirming masonry moisture strictly below 8% (BD 2 scale) per SANS 10400 before primer.
Structural waterproofing
PRO-STRUCT 506 · DPC injectionTypical competitor claim
We fix peeling paint and rising damp.
Krugersdorp Painters QA metric
Documented PRO-STRUCT 506 cementitious tanking and chemical DPC injection (Dryzone/Microsilan class) on lateral damp zones.
Coating application
100 µm DFT · Plascon MicatexTypical competitor claim
Two coats of premium paint.
Krugersdorp Painters QA metric
Non-destructive gauge readings targeting 100 µm aggregate DFT on Plascon Micatex — bridging hairline cracks to 0.08 mm.
Physical site assessment
Tailored phased maintenance proposals — built on site, not online
Our specialized teams utilize calibrated moisture diagnostics and structural analysis to deliver your tailored, phased maintenance proposal. Trustees receive scope, phasing, and reserve-fund alignment after a physical walk-through — never a self-service calculator.
Technical authority
STSMA, Highveld weathering & material science — in plain language
Highveld climate degradation and exterior coating science
The West Rand experiences severe diurnal temperature swings, summer thunderstorms, and high-altitude UV. Standard residential paints chalk, fade, and crack within seasons if substrate prep and film thickness are ignored.
- Thermal shock causes plaster crazing across large facades.
- UV chalking degrades polymer binders in conventional coatings.
- Plascon Micatex WeatherTough with mica, quartz, and marble aggregates targets 100 µm aggregate DFT.
- Elastomeric stretch bridges hairline cracks to ~0.08 mm for multi-year performance.
Lateral damp and efflorescence on terraced estates
Sloped micro-nodes like Featherbrooke, Chancliff Ridge, and Rangeview see moisture forced horizontally through retaining walls — not just rising damp. Painting over saturated plaster guarantees callback failure.
- Strip effloresced plaster to bare brick.
- Apply polymer-modified cementitious tanking on the negative side.
- Inject chemical DPC cream along the mortar line.
- Re-plaster with salt-retardant systems before UV-rated topcoats.
STSMA exterior liability and the median line rule
Under STSMA and PMR 22, the body corporate maintains the exterior 50% of boundary walls and common-property facades. Funding belongs in the reserve fund and 10-Year MRRP — not ad-hoc special levies.
- Median line bisects the wall — outer half is common property.
- Exterior painting is a major capital item in the MRRP.
- Exterior-only contractors avoid interior owner disputes entirely.
Phased chunking for large complexes
Painting 50+ units simultaneously spikes cost, scaffolding, and resident friction. Phased chunking spreads work across 36–48 months, matching monthly reserve accruals.
- One operational precinct completed before advancing.
- Agile teams never require interior access.
- Small-footprint crews align with estate access windows — zero complex logistical bloat.
Trustee & managing agent quick answers
- Who is responsible for painting complex boundary walls under STSMA?
- Under the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act (STSMA), the body corporate maintains the exterior 50% of boundary walls. The median line rule places the outer facade in common property, funded via the scheme's mandatory reserve fund.
- How to align exterior painting with a PMR 22 10-year maintenance plan?
- Implement phased chunking: paint exterior facades block-by-block over multiple financial cycles so trustees fund sequential phases from monthly reserve accruals — avoiding special levies.
- What are contractor working hours at Featherbrooke Estate?
- Featherbrooke permits contractors weekdays 07:00–17:00, with a mandatory December/January builder holiday halt. Small-footprint exterior teams coordinate with estate management and approved biometric access.
- How does Plascon Micatex protect Highveld walls from thermal shock?
- Micatex WeatherTough with mica aggregates provides elastomeric stretch against thermal shock. Applied to ~100 µm aggregate DFT, it bridges hairline cracks and resists UV chalking on body corporate facades.
- How to minimise disruption during sectional-title exterior painting?
- Use agile, exterior-only contractors with phased delivery: isolate work to one block, avoid interior access, limit scaffolding footprint, and integrate with estate security protocols.
