Homes and weather in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university and farming town with tree-lined streets, many older Cape Dutch and Victorian-style houses, and student flats around the campus. Landlords and letting agents keep busy with between-tenant repairs, painting, door and lock fixes and plumbing leaks. Old homes often have tin or tile roofs, timber windows and ceilings that suffer from borer, damp and thunderstorm leaks. Summers bring hail and lightning, while winter frost can crack exposed taps and pipes. Newer complexes and Ikageng township housing add steady demand for tiling, fencing and gate repairs. Surrounding farms need outbuilding and fence work, and hardware stores in town stock most trade materials.
Typical building supplies requests in the area come from:
- Older and character homes: lime-compatible plaster and matching old bricks for repairs to period walls
- Suburban houses: bricks, cement and sand for a new boundary wall, braai area or garage extension
- 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
- Farms and smallholdings: bulk sand, stone and poles delivered by truck to sheds, dams and farmhouse extensions
