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 burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: fitting bars and security gates to windows and doors on freestanding homes
- Township homes and extensions: fitting steel bars and security gates to windows and doors on small houses and backyard rooms
- Townhouses and security estates: fitting bars that follow complex style rules, with approval from the body corporate or HOA
- Shops, offices and rentals: fitting bars and security gates on shop fronts, offices and storerooms
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fitting clear bars and security gates on ground-floor flats and balcony doors, subject to scheme rules
- Older and character homes: fitting bars that suit old timber or steel windows and repairing original ironwork
