Homes and weather in Cape Town
Cape Town combines mountain, sea and wine-country weather, so home repairs vary by suburb. Atlantic Seaboard and Southern Suburbs homes face salt, wind and damp, with older Victorian terraces in Woodstock and Observatory needing roof, ceiling and sash window work. Northern Suburbs and Milnerton have newer estates, while Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain have dense township and semi-detached housing. Cape winter rain and north-westerly storms find weak flashings, gutters and flat roofs, and damp rises through walls. Typical jobs include waterproofing, painting, gutters, roof repairs, tiling, plumbing and security gates. Heritage controls apply to older buildings. Hardware stores and merchants are plentiful across the metro.
Typical paving requests in the area come from:
- Coastal homes: laying slip-resistant pavers around pools that cope with salt, sand and rain
- Suburban houses: paving driveways, front paths and braai areas, and cleaning and sealing older paving
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: repairing shared walkways and parking areas, usually arranged through the body corporate
- Townhouses and security estates: paving small courtyards and parking bays, with approval from the body corporate or HOA
- Older and character homes: laying clay bricks or stone that suit older homes and repairing old garden paths
- Township homes and extensions: paving yards and paths with simple pavers to cut dust, mud and puddles
