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 plumbing repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: fixing taps, cisterns, garden taps and drains in freestanding houses with older pipework
- Townhouses and security estates: repairing fittings inside the unit, with shared pipes and water meters reported to the body corporate
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: small leaks and cistern faults where a burst pipe can damage the flat below
- Township homes and extensions: repairing taps, toilets and outside standpipes, and fixing leaks on shared supply lines
- Shops, offices and rentals: repairing taps, urinals, cisterns and drains in shops and offices with minimal downtime
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing borehole feeds, tank connections, troughs and farmhouse pipes

What to include in your request
