Homes and weather in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Green Kalahari, where vineyards and date palms meet desert heat. Houses are mostly single-storey plastered homes with flat or low-pitched roofs, many with carports, stoeps and walled gardens. Temperatures regularly exceed 40 degrees in summer, which cracks paint, bakes flat roofs and dries timber, so waterproofing, repainting and roof repairs are common. Hard water scales taps and geysers, and sandy soils shift around paving and walls. Farm owners nearby need shed, fence and gate work. Local jobs also include air conditioning prep, shade nets, pool surrounds and security gates. Hardware stores in town supply most building materials and paint.
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
- 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
- Older and character homes: matching old plaster, timber and fittings so repairs suit the character of the house
