Homes and weather in Free State
Free State homes sit on open Highveld plains with cold winters, hot summers and fierce storms. Hail, lightning and strong wind damage roofs, gutters and electrical equipment, and expansive clay soils open cracks in walls, floors and paving. Bloemfontein, Welkom and Bethlehem have older sandstone and face-brick homes, newer complexes, mining and farm housing, and township houses that are extended over time. Frost can burst exposed pipes, so plumbing repairs rise in July. Hardware stores and builders' merchants serve each main town, and farm and small-town jobs often need bulk delivery by truck.
Typical home repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: fixing cracked plaster, tired doors, leaking ceilings and storm damage on a freestanding house
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing farmhouse walls, roofs and doors where the nearest hardware store is far away
- Township homes and extensions: patching walls, mending roof sheets and replacing doors on family homes and extensions
- Older and character homes: matching old plaster, timber and fittings so repairs suit the character of the house
- Townhouses and security estates: interior repairs inside a unit, with exterior damage reported to the body corporate first
- Shops, offices and rentals: quick repairs to shop fronts, counters, ceilings and doors so the business keeps trading
