Fibre cement boards and sandwich panels come up from Durban or from local stock. Repairers deal with rusted containers and roofs, termite damage and mould behind cladding, so ask about coated fixings from the start.
Sizes run from backyard rooms to family homes. Before you agree to anything: nHBRC registration for new homes.
