Homes and buildings in East London
East London enjoys a mild, humid coastal climate, with warm summers and frequent drizzle blowing in from the Indian Ocean. Beachfront flats at Nahoon and Gonubie, family homes in Beacon Bay and Vincent, and older houses in Selborne and Southernwood show a broad mix of floors, from original parquet and Marseille tiles to modern porcelain. Damp walls and grout mould are common complaints, so tilers stress good waterproofing in bathrooms. Mdantsane has many owners improving homes in stages, and Bhisho and Qonce add government and school work. Showrooms and tilers serve the whole metro, with specialist stone and imported tiles sometimes ordered through Gqeberha or Durban.
Typical tiling tools requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: a cutter, trowel and spacers for a weekend bathroom or kitchen tiling job
- Landlords and body corporates: a short saw hire and a few trims for a quick turnaround between tenants

- Schools, clinics and public buildings: durable trims and cove profiles for easy-clean corners in clinics
- Shops, offices and showrooms: levelling clips and diamond blades for large format floors in shops
