Painting Heritage Homes in Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch has the highest concentration of heritage architecture in South Africa outside Cape Town's city bowl. The famous Dorp Street, the Braak and surrounding streets contain some of the finest Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian domestic architecture on the continent. Painting these properties correctly is both a technical and cultural responsibility.

Lime Plaster - Non-Negotiable Assessment

Most pre-1940 Stellenbosch properties have original lime plaster. Standard modern acrylic paint is impermeable and traps moisture in lime plaster, causing damage. Before painting any older Stellenbosch property, confirm the substrate. If lime plaster is present, specify breathable mineral silicate paint or lime wash. This is the most critical single product decision for Stellenbosch's heritage stock. See our paint products guide.

Heritage Colour Approval

Listed Stellenbosch properties require Heritage Western Cape approval for exterior colour changes. The town's Cape Dutch and Georgian character means historically appropriate palettes - lime whites, creams, heritage greens and muted earth tones - are most likely to receive approval. Always confirm before painting. See our pricing guide.
