Painting Tips for Kenilworth and Wynberg
By Claremont Painters - Expert advice from the professionals
Kenilworth and Wynberg are two of the Southern Suburbs' most established residential areas — Kenilworth known for the racecourse, its mix of character homes and good schools, Wynberg for its village atmosphere, antique shops and diverse property mix. Both suburbs have older housing stock that presents typical Southern Suburbs painting challenges.
Kenilworth's Housing Mix
Kenilworth has a wide range of property types — from large family homes in Upper Kenilworth near Claremont to smaller semis and flats closer to the main road. Older properties predominate and most have the preparation challenges typical of Southern Suburbs older stock: biological growth, multiple old paint layers, damp issues and cracking. Quality preparation before any repaint is essential. See our wall preparation guide.
Wynberg Village Character
Wynberg Village has some of the most characterful architecture in the Southern Suburbs — Victorian shopfronts and cottages that require sensitive colour choices and careful preparation on lime plaster and original features. Getting colour and product advice from a contractor experienced in heritage properties makes a significant difference to the outcome. See our guide to painting older Southern Suburbs homes.
