Homes and weather in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is the judicial capital, with leafy older suburbs such as Westdene, Waverley and Universitas, newer estates around Langenhovenpark and Bainsvlei, and large township areas in Mangaung. Many homes have corrugated iron or tile roofs, pressed ceilings and timber windows that need regular upkeep. Highveld thunderstorms bring hail, lightning and flash flooding, while frosty winters freeze exposed pipes. Clay soils move with the seasons, causing wall cracks and sticking doors. Common work includes repainting, waterproofing, tiling, plumbing repairs, gutters, fencing and gate motors. Landlords and body corporates serving student and flat blocks need dependable repairs. Hardware stores and builders' merchants are well spread across the city.
Typical wooden decks requests in the area come from:
- Suburban houses: building decks off the lounge or around pools, and sanding and sealing older boards
- Older and character homes: matching older timber floors and verandas with sympathetic boards and traditional finishes
- Flats and sectional-title blocks: fitting light decking over balcony floors where the building rules allow
- Townhouses and security estates: adding a small deck to a garden patio, with body corporate approval where required
- Township homes and extensions: building simple raised platforms or stoeps from treated timber at the back or front of the house
- Shops, offices and rentals: building decks for restaurants, guesthouses and offices with stronger frames and slip-resistant boards
