Homes and weather in Gauteng
Gauteng homes take a beating from the Highveld summer. Afternoon thunderstorms bring hail, heavy rain and lightning, so roofs, gutters, ceilings and electrical points are the usual repair jobs. Clay soils in many areas swell and shrink, which opens cracks in walls and paving. Housing ranges from older face-brick suburban homes and townhouse complexes to flats, township houses and farm plots on the edges of Pretoria and Johannesburg. Landlords and body corporates add steady demand for painting, plumbing and tiling between tenants. Hardware stores, builders' merchants and paint and tile shops are never far away, so supplies are easy to collect or have delivered.
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
- Townhouses and security estates: interior repairs inside a unit, with exterior damage reported to the body corporate first
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: repairing leaks, cracks, doors and fittings in a flat while respecting neighbours and building rules
- Township homes and extensions: patching walls, mending roof sheets and replacing doors on family homes and extensions
- Shops, offices and rentals: quick repairs to shop fronts, counters, ceilings and doors so the business keeps trading
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing farmhouse walls, roofs and doors where the nearest hardware store is far away
