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.
How we operate
Framework of readiness — proof without a legacy portfolio
Trustees cannot approve multi-million Rand reserve fund spend on vague promises. This is the exact technical sequence our agile teams execute on every exterior phase — logged, measured, and handed over for your PMR 22 file.
Moisture diagnostics
SANS 10400 substrate verification before any primer.
- Masonry moisture must read below 8% on BD 2 scale (Doser hygrometer).
- Structural timber below 17% where brandering is coated.
- Readings logged in the on-site QA record before coatings commence.
Damp & tanking remediation
Lateral damp stripped to brick, tanked, and DPC-injected where required.
- Effloresced plaster removed on terraced boundary walls.
- PRO-STRUCT 506 / Eucoseal class cementitious slurry applied.
- Silane or silicone DPC cream injected at mortar line.
Measured coating application
Plascon Micatex applied to documented WFT/DFT targets.
- 30–50 µm DFT per coat; ~100 µm aggregate system target.
- Electronic gauge readings recorded during application.
- Crack-bridging elastomeric film for Highveld thermal shock.
Phased handover
Photographic QA log and walk-through before demobilisation.
- Snags closed in the active micro-zone before moving on.
- PMR 22 reserve drawdown schedule updated for the completed phase.
- Site left tidy — personnel never enter sectional title interiors.
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.
What happens on site
- Doser hygrometer moisture mapping — masonry below 8% before coatings
- Substrate profiling for tanking, DPC injection, and DFT targets
- PMR 22 phased chunking outline aligned to reserve accruals

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.

Trustee & managing agent FAQ
Straight answers on exterior programmes, phasing, and pricing
Planning a body-corporate repaint or HOA exterior cycle on the West Rand? These are the questions trustees and managing agents ask before issuing an RFP.
No — we are exterior-only by design. That means zero interior access, no resident disruption inside units, and teams sized for roofs, facades, boundary walls, and common-area exteriors. Trustees and HOAs get phased programmes without painters moving through hallways and lifts.
Yes. We lead with on-site operational proof — SANS 10400 moisture diagnostics below 8%, measured 100 µm DFT coatings, and polymer-modified tanking where lateral damp exists. Scopes align to STSMA PMR 22 reserve planning and phase block-by-block with zero interior access. Quotes are structured for trustee meetings — not retail one-liners.
We walk the scheme, measure substrates, note damp and height access, and map a phased chunking timeline. Prep, primers, tanking, and topcoats are itemised so managing agents can defend reserve fund drawdowns at the AGM.
Moisture readings against SANS thresholds, tanking protocols, dry film thickness (DFT) checks, and photographic stage sign-off. Your PMR 22 file gets numbers — not vague “quality workmanship” claims.
Usually yes. Phasing keeps one zone active at a time, with daily boundary tape, dust control on ground works, and agreed contractor hours per estate rules. We coordinate with security and the managing agent before mobilisation.
