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 tools requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: a drill, ladder and hand tools kept in the garage for regular repairs and garden jobs
- Townhouses and security estates: compact tools for small repairs, with larger gear hired for a day when needed
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: a small toolbox and cordless drill that suit storage limits and noise rules
- Township homes and extensions: basic hand tools and shared power tools for building and repairing extensions
- Older and character homes: fine hand tools and gentle sanders for working on old timber and plaster
- Shops, offices and rentals: hired scaffolds, floor sanders and power tools for shop fit-outs and building maintenance
