Pretoria Conditions to Plan For
Sectional title schemes in Pretoria fall under the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act, which requires a maintenance plan and a reserve fund. Painting usually takes a large share of both, so firm quotations help trustees budget. Flat roofs and parapets on newer complexes are common sources of water damage, so ask contractors to inspect them as part of the scope.

Get the Best QuoteBody Corporate Painting Pretoria FAQs
How many quotations should a body corporate get?
That depends on your scheme's rules and practice. Many schemes compare at least three written quotations on the same scope.
Can owners choose their own colours?
Usually not for exterior walls. The scheme normally decides one colour scheme for a uniform look.
Who pays for painting inside a unit?
Generally the owner. The body corporate is usually responsible for common property and exteriors, but check your scheme's rules.
Can painting be done while residents are home?
Yes. Phased work keeps disruption to one block at a time. Residents may need to move cars and close windows on certain days.
Should waterproofing be done at the same time?
It often makes sense, since access equipment is already on site. Ask for waterproofing to be priced as a separate line item.
