Homes and weather in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is the judicial capital, with leafy older suburbs such as Westdene, Waverley and Universitas, newer estates around Langenhovenpark and Bainsvlei, and large township areas in Mangaung. Many homes have corrugated iron or tile roofs, pressed ceilings and timber windows that need regular upkeep. Highveld thunderstorms bring hail, lightning and flash flooding, while frosty winters freeze exposed pipes. Clay soils move with the seasons, causing wall cracks and sticking doors. Common work includes repainting, waterproofing, tiling, plumbing repairs, gutters, fencing and gate motors. Landlords and body corporates serving student and flat blocks need dependable repairs. Hardware stores and builders' merchants are well spread across the city.
Typical building supplies requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: bricks, cement and sand for a new boundary wall, braai area or garage extension
- Older and character homes: lime-compatible plaster and matching old bricks for repairs to period walls
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: light bags of cement, filler and boards that can be carried up to a flat
- Townhouses and security estates: small loads of matching bricks and plaster for repairs the body corporate has approved
- Township homes and extensions: blocks, cement and roofing sheets bought in stages as a room or extension grows
- Shops, offices and rentals: scheduled loads of blocks, boards and roofing for shop fronts and small factory units
