Homes and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town in the Kalahari edge, surrounded by iron ore and manganese operations. Homes are mostly newer face-brick houses, complexes, mine housing and rented units, with Sesheng and Dingleton nearby. Summers are fiercely hot, and the dry red sand and dust get into everything, wearing gate tracks, motors, roller doors and air conditioners. Rare but heavy thunderstorms test roofs and gutters, while cold winter nights can affect exposed plumbing. Landlords and letting agents need regular repairs, painting and turnaround work. Residents also ask for paving, carports, shade structures, fencing and security gates. Many materials come from local merchants, with bulk items delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
Typical roof repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: replacing slipped tiles, re-bedding ridge cappings and tracing leaks on pitched family homes
- Townhouses and security estates: repairing shared roofs with body corporate approval and matching existing tile colour
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fixing leaks at parapets, skylights and flat sections above top-floor flats
- Township homes and extensions: replacing rusted corrugated sheets, refixing loose sheets and sealing leaks around vents
- Shops, offices and rentals: repairing leaking sheets, skylights and flashing on shops, offices and warehouses
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing large IBR roofs on farmhouses, sheds and barns after hail or wind
