Homes and weather in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg is KwaZulu-Natal's capital, known for red-brick Victorian buildings, tree-lined avenues and cooler, wetter weather than Durban. Heritage homes in Scottsville, Clarendon and Hilton have corrugated iron roofs, sash windows and timber floors that need skilled repair. Summer thunderstorms and mist cause damp, rotting timber and leaking roofs and gutters, and termites and borer are active. Newer complexes and Edendale township housing add demand for waterproofing, tiling, painting and security work. Owners of older buildings should check heritage rules before altering exteriors. Typical jobs include roof repairs, ceilings, damp treatment, plumbing and electrical faults. The city has established hardware stores and merchants serving trade and households.
Typical burglar bars requests in the area come from:
- Older and character homes: fitting bars that suit old timber or steel windows and repairing original ironwork
- Suburban houses: fitting bars and security gates to windows and doors on freestanding homes
- Townhouses and security estates: fitting bars that follow complex style rules, with approval from the body corporate or HOA
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fitting clear bars and security gates on ground-floor flats and balcony doors, subject to scheme rules
- Township homes and extensions: fitting steel bars and security gates to windows and doors on small houses and backyard rooms
- Shops, offices and rentals: fitting bars and security gates on shop fronts, offices and storerooms
