Homes and weather in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town laid out in circular suburbs, with many uniform mine-era brick houses, some now in need of renovation. Bronville, Riebeeckstad and Doorn have older homes, while Thabong has dense township housing. The flat Free State plains bring hot summers, hail and lightning, and cold dry winters with frost. Mine closures have left many homes with deferred maintenance, so roof leaks, cracked plaster, rotten ceilings, old wiring and failed geysers are common. Owners often need repainting, tiling, security work and gate repairs. Landlords and agents refurbish for new tenants. Local merchants stock bricks, cement, paint and roofing, and delivery from Bloemfontein is available.
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
- 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
- Townhouses and security estates: interior upkeep and unit checks that sit inside the body corporate's exterior rules
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: tap, seal, door and balcony checks, booked around the managing agent's access rules
- Shops, offices and rentals: scheduled checks of doors, lights, leaks and fixtures so a shop or office stays open
