Homes and weather in Free State
Free State homes sit on open Highveld plains with cold winters, hot summers and fierce storms. Hail, lightning and strong wind damage roofs, gutters and electrical equipment, and expansive clay soils open cracks in walls, floors and paving. Bloemfontein, Welkom and Bethlehem have older sandstone and face-brick homes, newer complexes, mining and farm housing, and township houses that are extended over time. Frost can burst exposed pipes, so plumbing repairs rise in July. Hardware stores and builders' merchants serve each main town, and farm and small-town jobs often need bulk delivery by truck.

Typical gate repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: repairing sliding and swing driveway gates, motors and remotes after wear or power cuts
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing long entrance gates and farm gates on gravel roads, often with solar-powered motors
- Township homes and extensions: repairing simple hinged and sliding gates, welding cracks and fitting new locks
- Older and character homes: restoring ornate iron gates and fitting motors without losing the original design
- Townhouses and security estates: servicing entrance and pedestrian gates and aligning with the rules of the body corporate
- Shops, offices and rentals: maintaining heavy sliding and cantilever gates at yards, depots and business parks
