Homes and weather in Newcastle
Newcastle is a northern KwaZulu-Natal industrial town in the shadow of the Drakensberg foothills, with suburbs like Lennoxton, Fernwood and Madadeni and Osizweni townships. Homes include older brick houses, newer complexes and large township areas. Weather swings from hot, stormy summers with hail and lightning to cold winters with frost that can freeze pipes and crack taps. Clay soils move and crack walls, and many roofs on older houses leak at flashings and gutters. Typical jobs include roof repairs, waterproofing, painting, plumbing, ceilings and security gates. Landlords and agents need regular turnaround repairs. Local hardware stores and merchants supply bricks, roofing, paint and plumbing parts.
Typical waterproofing requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: sealing flat roof extensions, carports and patios, and treating damp in older walls
- Township homes and extensions: sealing flat concrete roofs and treating damp walls on extensions and backyard rooms
- Townhouses and security estates: waterproofing shared balconies, parapets and podium slabs with body corporate approval
- Shops, offices and rentals: re-sealing large flat roofs, gutters and parapets on shops, offices and warehouses
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fixing leaking balconies, roof slabs and shower floors that damage the flat below
- Older and character homes: treating rising damp in thick old walls with methods that let the masonry breathe
