Homes and weather in Newcastle
Newcastle is a northern KwaZulu-Natal industrial town in the shadow of the Drakensberg foothills, with suburbs like Lennoxton, Fernwood and Madadeni and Osizweni townships. Homes include older brick houses, newer complexes and large township areas. Weather swings from hot, stormy summers with hail and lightning to cold winters with frost that can freeze pipes and crack taps. Clay soils move and crack walls, and many roofs on older houses leak at flashings and gutters. Typical jobs include roof repairs, waterproofing, painting, plumbing, ceilings and security gates. Landlords and agents need regular turnaround repairs. Local hardware stores and merchants supply bricks, roofing, paint and plumbing parts.
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
- Township homes and extensions: blocks, cement and roofing sheets bought in stages as a room or extension grows
- Townhouses and security estates: small loads of matching bricks and plaster for repairs the body corporate has approved
- Shops, offices and rentals: scheduled loads of blocks, boards and roofing for shop fronts and small factory units
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: light bags of cement, filler and boards that can be carried up to a flat
- Older and character homes: lime-compatible plaster and matching old bricks for repairs to period walls
