Homes and weather in Eastern Cape
Eastern Cape homes cope with a varied climate, from humid coast to dry Karoo interior. Around Gqeberha, East London and Jeffreys Bay, salt air and strong wind corrode metal and flake paint, and wind-driven rain finds weak spots in roofs and window frames. Makhanda and Komani have many older and heritage houses with timber floors and sash windows that need careful repair. Township homes and farmhouses are often extended or maintained piece by piece. Common jobs are waterproofing, rust treatment, painting and carpentry. Hardware stores and builders' merchants serve the larger towns, with delivery to smaller places.
Typical carpentry requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: building cupboards, repairing door frames and fitting skirting in family homes
- Coastal homes: replacing timber damaged by damp with treated wood and rust-resistant fixings
- Older and character homes: matching old skirtings, sash windows and doors with careful timber repairs
- Township homes and extensions: repairing door frames and building simple shelving in extensions and backyard rooms
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing farmhouse doors, floors and roof timbers, and building outbuilding fittings
- Townhouses and security estates: fitting shelves and built-in units without disturbing neighbours in shared walls
