Homes and weather in George
George lies between the Outeniqua mountains and the Garden Route coast, with leafy suburbs like Heatherlands, Dormehls Drift and Blanco, plus large township areas such as Thembalethu. Homes include older plastered houses, thatch-roof homes, estates, and holiday homes near Wilderness and Herolds Bay. The climate is mild but wet, with rain at any time of year, so mould, damp walls, leaking roofs and blocked gutters are common. Termites and borer are active in timber and decks, and coastal homes face salt rust. Typical jobs include waterproofing, repainting, gutters, deck repairs, roof repairs, fencing and security gates. Local hardware stores and merchants supply a wide range of materials.
Typical home maintenance requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: twice-yearly checks of roof, gutters, boundary walls, gates and paintwork on a freestanding house
- Townhouses and security estates: interior upkeep and unit checks that sit inside the body corporate's exterior rules
- Coastal homes: rinsing and replacing rusted fittings, resealing frames and checking paint against salt air
- Township homes and extensions: fixing roof leaks, loose sheets, cracked plaster and window frames before the rainy season
- Older and character homes: gentle upkeep of old timber, putty, plaster and roofing that needs experienced hands
- Farms and smallholdings: checking farmhouse roofs, water lines and outbuildings that are far from the nearest trades
