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 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
- Older and character homes: careful fitting in older homes where wiring may be ageing and a full inspection makes sense
- Shops, offices and rentals: replacing lights and plugs in shops and offices, with registered electricians for circuits and DB work
