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 handyman services requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: a running list of odd jobs: leaking taps, sticking doors, cracked plaster, gutters, gates and a room to repaint
- Townhouses and security estates: unit repairs inside, plus common-property work for the body corporate or HOA that must match the estate rules
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: small inside jobs in flats where access, parking and building rules matter: shelves, lights, taps, tiles and paint
- Township homes and extensions: extensions, backyard rooms, roof leaks, burglar bars, ceilings and plastering on brick homes
- Older and character homes: careful repairs to old roofs, timber floors, sash windows and lime plaster on older homes
- Shops, offices and rentals: planned and call-out maintenance for shops, offices and rentals, ideally after hours to keep doors open
