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 home maintenance requests in the area come from:
- Older and character homes: gentle upkeep of old timber, putty, plaster and roofing that needs experienced hands
- Suburban houses: twice-yearly checks of roof, gutters, boundary walls, gates and paintwork on a freestanding house
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: tap, seal, door and balcony checks, booked around the managing agent's access rules
- Townhouses and security estates: interior upkeep and unit checks that sit inside the body corporate's exterior rules
- Township homes and extensions: fixing roof leaks, loose sheets, cracked plaster and window frames before the rainy season
- Farms and smallholdings: checking farmhouse roofs, water lines and outbuildings that are far from the nearest trades
