Homes and weather in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town laid out in circular suburbs, with many uniform mine-era brick houses, some now in need of renovation. Bronville, Riebeeckstad and Doorn have older homes, while Thabong has dense township housing. The flat Free State plains bring hot summers, hail and lightning, and cold dry winters with frost. Mine closures have left many homes with deferred maintenance, so roof leaks, cracked plaster, rotten ceilings, old wiring and failed geysers are common. Owners often need repainting, tiling, security work and gate repairs. Landlords and agents refurbish for new tenants. Local merchants stock bricks, cement, paint and roofing, and delivery from Bloemfontein is available.
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
- Older and character homes: fitting bars that suit old timber or steel windows and repairing original ironwork
- 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
- Shops, offices and rentals: fitting bars and security gates on shop fronts, offices and storerooms
