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 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
- 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
- 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
- Shops, offices and rentals: replacing lights and plugs in shops and offices, with registered electricians for circuits and DB work
