Homes and weather in Gqeberha
Gqeberha, still called Port Elizabeth by many, is a windy coastal city on Algoa Bay. Suburbs such as Walmer, Summerstrand, Mill Park and Newton Park mix older plastered houses with flats and complexes, while Motherwell and Kwazakhele have dense township housing. Salt air and constant wind rust gates, burglar bars, window frames and roof screws, and driving rain finds weak flashings and walls. Winter rain from cold fronts can leak flat roofs and parapets. Typical jobs include waterproofing, repainting, gutters, gate repairs, window and door fixes, and security upgrades. Owners of older Victorian homes in Central should check heritage rules. 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
- Township homes and extensions: paving yards and paths with simple pavers to cut dust, mud and puddles
- Older and character homes: laying clay bricks or stone that suit older homes and repairing old garden paths
