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 roof repairs requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: replacing slipped tiles, re-bedding ridge cappings and tracing leaks on pitched family homes
- Farms and smallholdings: repairing large IBR roofs on farmhouses, sheds and barns after hail or wind
- Township homes and extensions: replacing rusted corrugated sheets, refixing loose sheets and sealing leaks around vents
- Townhouses and security estates: repairing shared roofs with body corporate approval and matching existing tile colour
- Shops, offices and rentals: repairing leaking sheets, skylights and flashing on shops, offices and warehouses
- Older and character homes: matching old clay tiles or slate, and repairing valleys and chimney flashing carefully
