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 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
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fitting clear bars and security gates on ground-floor flats and balcony doors, subject to scheme rules
- Townhouses and security estates: fitting bars that follow complex style rules, with approval from the body corporate or HOA
- Township homes and extensions: fitting steel bars and security gates to windows and doors on small houses and backyard rooms
- Farms and smallholdings: fitting strong bars and gates on farmhouses and outbuildings far from help
