Homes and weather in Potchefstroom
Potchefstroom is a university and farming town with tree-lined streets, many older Cape Dutch and Victorian-style houses, and student flats around the campus. Landlords and letting agents keep busy with between-tenant repairs, painting, door and lock fixes and plumbing leaks. Old homes often have tin or tile roofs, timber windows and ceilings that suffer from borer, damp and thunderstorm leaks. Summers bring hail and lightning, while winter frost can crack exposed taps and pipes. Newer complexes and Ikageng township housing add steady demand for tiling, fencing and gate repairs. Surrounding farms need outbuilding and fence work, and hardware stores in town stock most trade materials.
Typical gate repairs requests in the area come from:
- Older and character homes: restoring ornate iron gates and fitting motors without losing the original design
- Suburban houses: repairing sliding and swing driveway gates, motors and remotes after wear or power cuts
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: maintaining shared entrance and parking gates, usually arranged through the body corporate
- Townhouses and security estates: servicing entrance and pedestrian gates and aligning with the rules of the body corporate
- Township homes and extensions: repairing simple hinged and sliding gates, welding cracks and fitting new locks
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing long entrance gates and farm gates on gravel roads, often with solar-powered motors
