Homes and weather in Gauteng
Gauteng homes take a beating from the Highveld summer. Afternoon thunderstorms bring hail, heavy rain and lightning, so roofs, gutters, ceilings and electrical points are the usual repair jobs. Clay soils in many areas swell and shrink, which opens cracks in walls and paving. Housing ranges from older face-brick suburban homes and townhouse complexes to flats, township houses and farm plots on the edges of Pretoria and Johannesburg. Landlords and body corporates add steady demand for painting, plumbing and tiling between tenants. Hardware stores, builders' merchants and paint and tile shops are never far away, so supplies are easy to collect or have delivered.
Typical electrical repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: swapping light fittings, fitting ceiling fans and adding outdoor security lights on a freestanding house
- Townhouses and security estates: like-for-like swaps inside the unit, with changes to shared supply handled by the body corporate
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: replacing fittings and plates in a flat, with the DB board and meter left to the electrician
- Township homes and extensions: safe lights and plug points in homes and backyard rooms, using a registered electrician for wiring
- Shops, offices and rentals: replacing lights and plugs in shops and offices, with registered electricians for circuits and DB work
- Farms and smallholdings: lighting for farmhouses, sheds and yards, with wiring and generator changeover left to an electrician
