Homes and weather in Gauteng
Gauteng homes take a beating from the Highveld summer. Afternoon thunderstorms bring hail, heavy rain and lightning, so roofs, gutters, ceilings and electrical points are the usual repair jobs. Clay soils in many areas swell and shrink, which opens cracks in walls and paving. Housing ranges from older face-brick suburban homes and townhouse complexes to flats, township houses and farm plots on the edges of Pretoria and Johannesburg. Landlords and body corporates add steady demand for painting, plumbing and tiling between tenants. Hardware stores, builders' merchants and paint and tile shops are never far away, so supplies are easy to collect or have delivered.
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
- Townhouses and security estates: small loads of matching bricks and plaster for repairs the body corporate has approved
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: light bags of cement, filler and boards that can be carried up to a flat
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: bulk sand, stone and poles delivered by truck to sheds, dams and farmhouse extensions
