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 gate repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: repairing sliding and swing driveway gates, motors and remotes after wear or power cuts
- Townhouses and security estates: servicing entrance and pedestrian gates and aligning with the rules of the body corporate
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: maintaining shared entrance and parking gates, usually arranged through the body corporate
- 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
- Shops, offices and rentals: maintaining heavy sliding and cantilever gates at yards, depots and business parks
