Two Very Different Jobs in One Suburb

Moreleta Park is large enough that "painting in Moreleta Park" means two completely different exercises. There are the freestanding family homes on standard erven, mostly 1990s and 2000s builds with plaster over brick and concrete tile roofs. And there is the very large stock of townhouse complexes, clusters and sectional title schemes that make up much of the suburb.

The freestanding job is straightforward and prices the way you would expect. The complex job is a different animal: it involves a body corporate or HOA, a decision process, a budget that comes out of the levy reserve, and thirty to two hundred units that have to be done without turning the whole scheme into a building site for three months.

Below we have split the pricing so you can find the number that applies to you rather than working backwards from a figure meant for a different kind of property.

Who Pays for What in a Sectional Title Scheme

This is the question that causes the most confusion and the most argument in Moreleta Park complexes, and the answer is more consistent than most owners expect.

Broadly, the exterior of the building is common property and is the body corporate's responsibility, funded from the levy and typically the reserve fund. That covers the external walls, the roof, the eaves, external stairwells and corridors, and the outward-facing surfaces of the building. The inside of your unit — internal walls, ceilings, internal doors, skirtings — is the owner's cost.

The grey areas are the ones worth checking against your scheme's rules before assuming: courtyard walls attached to a single unit, the inward-facing side of a garden wall on exclusive-use area, front doors, garage doors, and balcony balustrades. Different schemes allocate these differently, and the conduct rules or a trustee resolution will say which applies to yours. Sorting this out before quotes go out saves a great deal of friction later.

Getting a Complex Repaint Right

Insist on a single tint batch or a recorded tint code. Nothing looks worse across a scheme than block A and block D being visibly different shades. On a large order the colour should be batched and the code documented for future touch-ups
Get the scheme measured, not estimated. Per-unit pricing is useful for budgeting, but the contract should rest on measured square metres. Units in the same scheme frequently differ in exterior area by twenty percent or more
Phase it block by block. Completing and clearing one block before opening the next keeps parking, access and resident disruption manageable, and it lets the trustees inspect and sign off progressively instead of at the end
Deal with the roofs and gutters at the same time. Access equipment is already up. Coming back for gutters six months later means paying for setup twice
Standard freestanding homes: premium exterior acrylic over sound plaster, two coats. The 1990s and 2000s plaster in this suburb is generally in good condition and does not need an exotic system
Common-area interiors: corridors and stairwells take constant contact, so use a washable low-sheen rather than matt. It costs marginally more and lasts materially longer in a high-traffic space

Scheduling Across a Whole Scheme

The workable months in Pretoria East are late March to May, and mid-August to mid-October. A single house fits easily inside either. A forty-unit complex does not necessarily.

The practical approach on a large scheme is to run the exterior across a single dry window if the scheme is small enough, and to split it deliberately across two consecutive windows if it is not — half the blocks in autumn, half in spring — rather than pushing into the storm season to finish. Painting blocks in November means washed-out coats and rework, and rework on common property is paid for out of the levy.

One scheduling detail worth writing into the contract: written notice to residents of which block is being worked on and when, so cars can be moved and washing brought in. It sounds trivial. It is the single biggest source of complaints on complex repaints.

Moreleta Park Painting Questions

Who pays to paint the outside of my townhouse?

In most sectional title schemes the external walls and roof are common property and the body corporate pays from the levy, usually the reserve fund. The interior of the unit is the owner's cost. Items on exclusive-use areas — courtyard walls, front and garage doors, balcony balustrades — vary by scheme, so check your conduct rules before assuming either way.

How is a complex repaint priced?

Sound schemes are priced on measured square metres, with a per-unit figure used for budgeting rather than as the contract basis. Per-unit numbers are useful because setup costs spread across many units, which is why a complex exterior costs less per square metre than the same work on a single freestanding home. Always ask to see the measurement schedule.

How do I stop different blocks ending up different colours?

Specify a single tint batch for the whole scheme where the order size allows, and require the exact tint code to be recorded in the handover documents. Small variations between separately tinted batches are normal and invisible on one house, but plainly visible when two adjacent blocks were coated from different batches.

How disruptive is a complex repaint for residents?

Manageable if it is phased. Working one block at a time and clearing it before opening the next keeps parking and access workable. The complaints almost always come from a lack of notice rather than the work itself, so written notice to each block a few days ahead should be a contract requirement, not a courtesy.

Is a townhouse cheaper to paint than a freestanding house?

Per unit, yes — there is less surface area and often less exterior. Per square metre, a townhouse interior can actually work out slightly higher, because small rooms mean more cutting in, more corners and more edges relative to open wall. The saving is in the total, not in the rate.
