Homes and weather in Johannesburg
Johannesburg's older suburbs, such as Melville, Parkview and Bez Valley, have face-brick and plastered homes with ageing roofs, damp walls and ceilings stained by summer storms. Hail and lightning hit the Highveld hard, so roof, gutter and electrical repairs are constant. Clay soils crack walls and paving. Sandton and the northern suburbs have many estates and complexes, and the inner city and Rosebank have flats where landlords and body corporates need quick repairs. Township homes in Soweto and Alexandra are extended over time. Hardware stores, paint and tile shops and builders' merchants serve every area.
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
- Older and character homes: lime-compatible plaster and matching old bricks for repairs to period walls
- Shops, offices and rentals: scheduled loads of blocks, boards and roofing for shop fronts and small factory units
