Homes and weather in Johannesburg
Johannesburg's older suburbs, such as Melville, Parkview and Bez Valley, have face-brick and plastered homes with ageing roofs, damp walls and ceilings stained by summer storms. Hail and lightning hit the Highveld hard, so roof, gutter and electrical repairs are constant. Clay soils crack walls and paving. Sandton and the northern suburbs have many estates and complexes, and the inner city and Rosebank have flats where landlords and body corporates need quick repairs. Township homes in Soweto and Alexandra are extended over time. Hardware stores, paint and tile shops and builders' merchants serve every area.
Typical carpentry requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: building cupboards, repairing door frames and fitting skirting in family homes
- Townhouses and security estates: fitting shelves and built-in units without disturbing neighbours in shared walls
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: making space-saving cupboards and shelves that suit small rooms and alcoves
- Township homes and extensions: repairing door frames and building simple shelving in extensions and backyard rooms
- Older and character homes: matching old skirtings, sash windows and doors with careful timber repairs
- Shops, offices and rentals: fitting counters, shelving and partitions in shops and offices
